Psalm 122 New King James Version (NKJV) 1 I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go into the house of the LORD." 2 Our feet have been standing Within your gates, O Jerusalem! 3 Jerusalem is built As a city that is compact together, 4 Where the tribes go up, The tribes of the LORD, To the Testimony of Israel, To give thanks to the name of the LORD. 5 For thrones are set there for judgment, The thrones of the house of David. 6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May they prosper who love you. 7 Peace be within your walls, Prosperity within your palaces." 8 For the sake of my brethren and companions, I will now say, "Peace be within you." 9 Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek your good. "In June 2009, I was asked by my pastor to put music to Scripture, word for word, specifically to the 15 Songs of Ascents (Psalms 120 to 134). From the start of the first psalm I worked on (which was Psalm 130) to the completion of the last one (Psalm 133), I have not ceased to be amazed, for the Lord has given me melody after melody to fit His Words. I believe this is because we, the church of Jesus Christ, are entering into a season when these psalms will become more and more relevant, as we look forward to our Lord's return. (Please click here to read more on Songs of Ascents)." "I thank my pastor, Lee Shaw Ming, for allowing the Lord to use him to challenge me to the task. (Your feedback and guidance were crucial to keeping me on track.) I thank my church for enthusiastically learning and singing these Scripture songs. (Hearing you sing them week after week gave me the encouragement to continue writing.) I thank my husband, KW Mui, for providing me with all that I needed to work on these Scripture songs (You were the first to have the vision that we would sing straight out of our Bibles!) I thank my kids (Rebekah and Samuel) for their endless support and love. I thank my friends (in particular Pastor Wah Lok, Catherine Wong, and my sister, Grace Soon) for their feedback and encouragement. I thank my co-producer, sound engineer and "manager", stack45ny, for believing in my music, and for the hours spent on working on these songs and videos. (The Lord bless you richly for your labor of love to see many blessed by these songs). Most of all, I thank my God, my Lord and Master, for seeing me fit to be a channel for what He wants to bless the body of Christ with." -Esther Mui Christian Praise Worship Songs Lyrics - Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem ( Psalm 122 )
