Psalm 122

v. 6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May those who love you be secure".

Father, I pray for the peace of your people.  I pray those who love you may be secure.  There is no security apart from you -- nothing can protect us apart from you.  Nothing can harm us when you are protecting us.  You are God, You are King.  Let your blessings flow on your people.  Let your blessings flow on Israel and on Jerusalem.  May your Name be made great among all the nations.  Amen.
