The Joy of Worshiping in Jerusalem

1 {A Song of degrees of David.} I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:

4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.

Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of <a href="/bible/biblical-figures/Israel">Israel</a>, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.

5 For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

7 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

8 For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

9 Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.

Commentary

This psalm is a beautiful reminder of the importance of worship and community in the life of believers. The psalmist's joy and enthusiasm for worshiping in Jerusalem serves as an example for us to approach God's presence with the same excitement and reverence. Additionally, the psalmist's prayer for peace and prosperity within the city is a call to action for us to pray and work towards unity and well-being in our own communities. Psalm 122 encourages us to come together in worship and prayer, and to seek God's blessings for ourselves and those around us.
