Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!

A Song of Ascents. Of David.
122
I was glad when they said to me,
“Let us go to the house of the Lord!”
2
Our feet have been standing
within your gates, O Jerusalem!
3
Jerusalem—built as a city
that is bound firmly together,
4
to which the tribes go up,
the tribes of the Lord,
as was decreed for[a] Israel,
to give thanks to the name of the Lord.
5
There thrones for judgment were set,
the thrones of the house of David.
6
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
“May they be secure who love you!
7
Peace be within your walls
and security within your towers!”
8
For my brothers and companions’ sake
I will say, “Peace be within you!”
9
For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
I will seek your good.
Glory be to the Father and I to the Son*
and to the Holy | Spirit;
as it was in the be- I ginning,
is now, and will be forever. I Amen.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
“May they be secure who love you!

Stir up Your power, O Lord, and come, that by Your protection we may be rescued from the threatening perils of our sins and saved by Your mighty deliverance; for You live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen
