Psalm 122
I
rejoiced when I heard them announce,
“The time of warfare is past.
No more
will brother hate brother
or violence have its way.
No more will they
drown out God’s silence
and shut their hearts to his song.”
Pray
for peace in the cities
and harmony among the races.
May peace come to
live on our streets
and justice within our walls.
With all my heart I will
pray
that peace comes to live among us.
For the sake of all earth’s
people,
I will do my utmost for peace.
