A Prayer for Jerusalem
A Davidic song of ascents.
1 I rejoiced with those who said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord.”2 Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem—
3 Jerusalem, built as a city [should be] , solidly joined together,
4 where the tribes, the tribes of the Lord, go up to give thanks to the name of the Lord. (This is an ordinance for Israel.)
5 There, thrones for judgment are placed, thrones of the house of David.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you prosper;
7 may there be peace within your walls, prosperity within your fortresses.”
8 Because of my brothers and friends, I will say, “Peace be with you.”
9 Because of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek your good.

Kristy Anderson's Psalm 122
I am so excited to journey to the house of the LORD - Won't you come up with me?
I can already feel God's holy sensation coursing through these unholy feet that are standing within the limits of a strong, model city - Jerusalem.
My fellow countrymen - let us go up and praise God together. Let us view the awesomeness of David's thrones.
Let us show God by being the peace of Jerusalem. Never cease to pray for the peace.
I want peace for my family, my city but more importantly I want peace because the home of my LORD resides within its walls.
