3Jerusalem, that has been built As a city that is firmly joined together; 4To which the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord— An ordinance for Israel— To give thanks to the name of the Lord. 5For thrones were set there for judgment, The thrones of the house of David. 6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: 'May they prosper who love you. 7May peace be within your walls, And prosperity within your palaces.' 8For the sake of my brothers and my friends, I will now say, 'May peace be within you.' 9For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek your good.King James Version

Chapter 122
3Jerusalem, built as a city should be, solidly united, 4where the tribes, the Lord’s tribes, go up to give thanks to the name of the Lord. (This is an ordinance for Israel. )
5There, thrones for judgment are placed, thrones of the house of David.
6Pray for the well-being of Jerusalem: "May those who love you be secure;
7may there be peace within your walls, security within your fortresses."
8Because of my brothers and friends, I will say, "May peace be in you."
9Because of the house of the Lord our God, I will pursue your prosperity.
New Living Translation
Chapter 122
3Jerusalem is a well-built city; its seamless walls cannot be breached. 4All the tribes of Israel — the Lord’s people — make their pilgrimage here. They come to give thanks to the name of the Lord, as the law requires of Israel. 5Here stand the thrones where judgment is given, the thrones of the dynasty of David.
6Pray for peace in Jerusalem. May all who love this city prosper.
7O Jerusalem, may there be peace within your walls and prosperity in your palaces.
8For the sake of my family and friends, I will say, 'May you have peace.'
9For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek what is best for you, O Jerusalem.

5There stand the thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.
6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May those who love you be secure.
7May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels."
8For the sake of my family and friends, I will say, "Peace be within you."
