Psalms 122 EASY

1. It made me very happy when people said to me, ‘We will go to the house of the Lord.’

2. Now we have arrived! We are standing inside your gates, Jerusalem!

3. Jerusalem is a strong city where many people can meet together.

4. Israel's tribes who belong to the Lord go up there. They go there to thank the Lord, as he has commanded them.

5. Israel's leaders sit there to judge the people. They sit on the thrones of King David's descendants.

6. Pray that there will be peace in Jerusalem. Pray that people who love Jerusalem will be safe.

7. Yes, I pray that there will be peace inside the city's walls. I pray people will be safe in their strong houses.

8. Because of my family and my friends I will pray, ‘Please let there be peace in Jerusalem.’

9. Because of the house of the Lord our God, I will pray for good things to happen in Jerusalem.
