6 Ask ye the peace of Jerusalem, At rest are those loving thee.
Do good in Thy good pleasure with Zion, Thou dost build the walls of Jerusalem.
And I bless those blessing thee, and him who is disesteeming thee I curse, and blessed in thee have been all families of the ground.'
Ye escaped of the sword, go on, stand not, Remember ye from afar Jehovah, And let Jerusalem come up on your heart.
My tongue doth cleave to my palate, If I do not remember thee, If I do not exalt Jerusalem above my chief joy. Remember, Jehovah, for the sons of Edom, The day of Jerusalem, Those saying, `Rase, rase to its foundation!'
that they all may be one, as Thou Father `art' in me, and I in Thee; that they also in us may be one, that the world may believe that Thou didst send me.

Commentary on Psalms 122 Matthew Henry Commentary
Psalm 122
This psalm seems to have been penned by David for the use of the people of Israel, when they came up to Jerusalem to worship at the three solemn feasts. It was in David's time that Jerusalem was first chosen to be the city where God would record his name. It being a new thing, this, among other means, was used to bring the people to be in love with Jerusalem, as the holy city, though it was but the other day in the hands of the Jebusites. Observe,
In singing this psalm we must have an eye to the gospel church, which is called the "Jerusalem that is from above.'
A song of degrees of David.
