6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper.
6 O make prayers for the peace of Jerusalem; may they whose love is given to you do well.
Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
Ye that have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still: remember the LORD afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.
If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy. Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.
That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

PSALM 122
Ps 122:1-9. This Psalm might well express the sacred joy of the pilgrims on entering the holy city, where praise, as the religious as well as civil metropolis, is celebrated, and for whose prosperity, as representing the Church, prayer is offered.
1, 2. Our feet shall stand—literally, "are standing."
2. gates—(Compare Ps 9:14; 87:2).
3-5. compact together—all parts united, as in David's time.
4. testimony—If "unto" is supplied, this may denote the ark (Ex 25:10-21); otherwise the act of going is denoted, called a testimony in allusion to the requisition (De 16:16), with which it was a compliance.
5. there are set thrones—or, "do sit, thrones," used for the occupants, David's sons (2Sa 8:18).
6, 7. Let peace—including prosperity, everywhere prevail.
8, 9. In the welfare of the city, as its civil, and especially the religious relations, was involved that of Israel.
now—as in Ps 115:2.
9. Let me say—house of … God—in wider sense, the Church, whose welfare would be promoted by the good of Jerusalem.
