Psalm 122

CM
My heart rejoiced with those who said,
‘Let's go to God's house, all’.
Within Jerus'lem's gates we tread,
Our feet inside your wall.

Jerus'lem like a city rose,
In close, compacted ways.
That's where the tribes, God's tribes, give praise,
As Israel’s statute says.

The thrones of judgement there are set,
The thrones of David, true.
Pray that the place with peace be blessed,
Keep safe those who love you.

May there be peace your walls within
Your citadels know rest.
Now for the sake of kith and kin
 'With peace' I say 'be blessed'.

For God's own house, yes, for its sake,
Then your prosperity
Jerusalem, that will I seek,
Amen, so let it be.
