PSALM 122
“Let us go” (1). Do you really rejoice when you have opportunity to go to God’s house and worship Him? We today can travel easily to a place of worship, but the ancient Jews had to walk a long distance. Yet the pilgrim was happy to go to God’s house.
“Let us praise” (2–5). How the people loved Jerusalem! It was a holy place because the temple was there, an honored place because David’s throne was there, and a happy place because the tribes were there to celebrate the greatness and goodness of God.
“Let us pray” (6–9). Do you pray for the peace and prosperity of the people in your local “house of God”? Do you pray for God’s people Israel? There can be no peace in our world until the Prince of Peace rules His people and there is peace in Jerusalem.
