🌙 Psalms 122

Psalms 122 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “I was glad when they said to me, “Let’s go to Yahweh’s house!”” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.

Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, “For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of David’s house.” Psalms 122 opens with these words: “I was glad when they said to me, “Let’s go to Yahweh’s house!”” The line to keep is Psalms 122:6: “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper.” Carry the word “pray” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is Psalms 122:6: “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in Psalms 122? Then try this: Read “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper.” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
