Psalms 122:8
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you prosper.
7 May there be peace within your walls, and prosperity inside your fortresses.”
For the sake of my brothers and friends, I will say, “Peace be within you.”
9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your prosperity.
