I desire peace for the church of God.

However, there are those within the church who hate peace.

They seek to disrupt the peace of the church with their false lips and deceitful tongues.

Therefore, I cry out to God, who is my help.

I pray for peace within the church, hoping for peace to be found within its walls.

I seek blessings for the house of God because I love God's church.

God will answer me and keep the church from stumbling,

neither slumbering nor sleeping, guarding it from all dangers, now and forevermore.

Therefore, when people say to me, "Let us go to the house of the Lord!"

I rejoice and go up to the house of the Lord, giving thanks to the name of the Lord

(Ps. 120:1-2, 6-7; 121:2-4; 7-8; 122:1, 4, 6-9).
