Knocking on heaven’s door

Psalm 122:1-9

Having our eyes fixed on the wonder of the glorious heavenly Jerusalem, and seeing how magnificent it will be to be with the Lord in the city of God, will keep us going through all the struggles and trials of this life.

Psalm 122:1-9

Let Us Go to the House of the Lord

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

I was glad when they said to me,
    “Let us go to the house of the Lord!”
Our feet have been standing
    within your gates, O Jerusalem!

Jerusalem—built as a city
    that is bound firmly together,
to which the tribes go up,
    the tribes of the Lord,
as was decreed for Israel,
    to give thanks to the name of the Lord.
There thrones for judgment were set,
    the thrones of the house of David.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
    “May they be secure who love you!
Peace be within your walls
    and security within your towers!”
For my brothers and companions’ sake
    I will say, “Peace be within you!”
For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
    I will seek your good.
