Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem

I was glad when they said to me,

“Let us go to the house of the L-RD.”

Our feet are standing

Within your gates, O Jerusalem,

Jerusalem, that is built

As a city that is compact together;

To which the tribes go up, even the tribes of the L-RD–

An ordinance for Israel–

To give thanks to the name of the L-RD.

For there thrones were set for judgment,

The thrones of the house of David.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:

“May they prosper who love you.

“May peace be within your walls,

And prosperity within your palaces.”

For the sake of my brothers and my friends,

I will now say, “May peace be within you.”

For the sake of the house of the L-RD our God,

I will seek your good.

–Psalm 122, A Psalm of Ascents, of David (NASB)

Dear Jerusalem, for the sake of the house of the L-rd our G-d, I will seek your good.

This is who I am: Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem
