Psalm 122 is a song of arrival. It’s the song of someone who has been looking forward to that arrival for some time. And it’s also a song about going to church, about gathering with God’s people for worship each week. You will notice that the psalm both begins and ends with the phrase “the house of the Lord.” Psalm 122, written by David, was written as a song of degrees for the people to sing on their way to the feasts at Jerusalem. Jerusalem , the city of peace, not only means the literal city, but also has a secondary meaning referring to the New Jerusalem that God is preparing for His saints who will dwell with Him forever.
PSALM 122:1-9
I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD. Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem. Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together: Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD. For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces. For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee. Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.
Father God, I thank You, I love You and praise You for Your home, family and the unity it endures. I thank You and praise You that it is a place where sinners congregate and learn and are saved by Your grace, forgiveness, mercy, love, kindness but most of all giving and walking in righteousness and having a freedom that is unfathomable. You give us the hope and faith we need to endure this world. Everything works perfectly in Your timing. Your promises are truth. Your word is truth. You hold all of Your children together as one with You. I am believing peace for Jerusalem and all over Your earth. People that don’t know You they will come to know and love You. I thank You Jesus for loving the sinner and giving all us sinners second chances and on. I thank You, praise You and give You all the glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
