Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

I rejoiced when they said to me, “Let us go to the House of Adonai.” 2 Our feet are standing in your gates, Jerusalem— 3 Jerusalem, built as a city joined together. 4 There the tribes go up, the tribes of Adonai —as a testimony to Israel— to praise the Name of Adonai. 5 For there thrones for judgment are set up, the thrones of the house of David. 6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem— “May those who love you be at peace! 7 May there be shalom within your walls— quietness within your palaces.” 8 For the sake of my brothers and friends, I now say: “Shalom be within you.” 9 For the sake of the House of Adonai our God, I will seek your good. — Psalm 122 | Tree of Life Version (TLV) Tree of Life Translation of the Bible.

Psalm 122 (Good News Translation)

God’s Saving Word: Prayer

Introduction

Psalm 122: Today’s reading is another psalm from the “Songs of Ascents” collection. It expresses a song of praise for Jerusalem and a prayer for Jerusalem’s well-being. As noted in yesterday’s reading, it most likely was sung by pilgrims journeying to Jerusalem to worship and celebrate one of Israel’s major festivals.

Scripture Reading

In Praise of Jerusalem

122 I was glad when they said to me,    “Let us go to the Lord's house.” 2 And now we are here,    standing inside the gates of Jerusalem!

3 Jerusalem is a city restored    in beautiful order and harmony. 4 This is where the tribes come,    the tribes of Israel, to give thanks to the Lord    according to his command. 5 Here the kings of Israel    sat to judge their people.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:    “May those who love you prosper. 7    May there be peace inside your walls    and safety in your palaces.” 8 For the sake of my relatives and friends    I say to Jerusalem, “Peace be with you!” 9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God    I pray for your prosperity.

Today's Key Verse: Psalm 122:1

I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the LORD’s house.”

Reflect

Reread verses 1 and 2. What joy is expressed?  In verses 3-5, how is Jerusalem described and praised?  What prayer is expressed in verses 6-9?  In what ways does worshiping God bring you peace and joy?

Pray

Almighty God, how happy I am when I worship and praise you. You surround me with your love and peace, and you fill my heart with joy. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.
