Week 2, Day 3

Psalm 122

And now we’re here, O Jerusalem, inside Jerusalem’s walls!

Jerusalem, well-built city, built as a place for worship!
The city to which the tribes ascend, all GOD’s tribes go up to worship,
To give thanks to the name of GOD – this is what it means to be Israel.
Thrones for righteous judgment are set there, famous David-thrones.

Pray for Jerusalem’s peace! Prosperity to all you Jerusalem-lovers!
Friendly insiders, get along! Hostile outsiders, keep your distance!
For the sake of my family and friends, I say it again: live in peace!
For the sake of the house of our God, GOD, I’ll do my very best for you.
