Psalms 122:1 — Saturday, May 2, 2026

The psalm expresses joy for the pilgrimage to the house of the Lord: I rejoiced with those who said to me, Let us go to the house of the Lord. Community worship is presented as a source of joy. The psalmist celebrates Jerusalem, a city of peace and center of pilgrimage. Today, this verse invites us to value the fellowship of God's people. Worship is more than a duty; it is a joy renewed at every gathering. Going up to the house of the Lord means leaving worries behind and seeking his presence. The joy of worshiping together strengthens faith and hope. May our hearts rejoice in seeking God in community.
