Psaumes 122.5
New International Version

Vœux pour la paix de Jérusalem

¹ I rejoiced with those who said to me,
“Let us go to the house of the Lord.”

² Our feet are standing
in your gates, Jerusalem.

³ Jerusalem is built like a city
that is closely compacted together.

⁴ That is where the tribes go up —
the tribes of the Lord —
to praise the name of the Lord
according to the statute given to Israel.

⁵ There stand the thrones for judgment,
the thrones of the house of David.

⁶ Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May those who love you be secure.

⁷ May there be peace within your walls
and security within your citadels.”

⁸ For the sake of my family and friends,
I will say, “Peace be within you.”

⁹ For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
I will seek your prosperity.
