Psalms 122

A Song of Ascents attributed to David that expresses joy at being invited to worship at YHWH's house in Jerusalem, celebrating the unified gathering of Israel's tribes at the holy city.[1][3] The psalm describes Jerusalem as a compact, prosperous city where the ark of the covenant (the Testimony of Israel) is housed and where David's royal line dispenses judgment, calling for prayers for the city's peace and prosperity.[1][4]
