Praying Through: Psalm 122
The Psalm
Psalm 122 (CSB)
A song of ascents. Of David.1 I rejoiced with those who said to me, “Let’s go to the house of the LORD.”
2 Our feet were standing within your gates, Jerusalem—
3 Jerusalem, built as a city should be, solidly united,
4 where the tribes, the LORD’s tribes, go up to give thanks to the name of the LORD. (This is an ordinance for Israel.)
5 There, thrones for judgment are placed, thrones of the house of David.
6 Pray for the well-being of Jerusalem: “May those who love you be secure;
7 may there be peace within your walls, security within your fortresses.”
8 Because of my brothers and friends, I will say, “May peace be in you.”
9 Because of the house of the LORD our God, I will pursue your prosperity.
The Prayer
I love coming into your house
- to praise you and lift your holy name up high
- and to exalt you
- with your people
- praising you
- for what you have done for us.
We rejoice
- because we have your precious Son
- Jesus Christ our Lord
- and we have him forever
- We are his love
- and he is ours forever.
We worship you now
- and we will worship you
- all the days of our lives.
Blessed be your glorious name!
