• Deuteronomy 12:5, 6
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures

    • 5 Rather, seek Jehovah your God wherever he chooses to establish his name and his place of residence among all your tribes, and go there.+ 6 That is where you are to bring your burnt offerings,+ your sacrifices, your tithes,*+ the contribution from your hand,+ your vow offerings, your voluntary offerings,+ and the firstborn of your herd and flock.+

  • Psalm 122:superscription-9
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures

    • A Song of the Ascents. Of David.

      122 I rejoiced when they said to me:

      “Let us go to the house of Jehovah.”+

       2 And now our feet are standing

      Within your gates, O Jerusalem.+

       3 Jerusalem is built as a city

      That is joined together as one.+

       4 The tribes have gone up to it,

      The tribes of Jah,*

      According to the reminder to Israel,

      To give thanks to the name of Jehovah.+

       5 For thrones for judgment were set up there,+

      Thrones of the house of David.+

       6 Ask for the peace of Jerusalem.+

      Those who love you, O city, will be secure.

       7 May peace continue within your ramparts,*

      Security within your fortified towers.

       8 For the sake of my brothers and my companions I will say:

      “May there be peace within you.”

       9 For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God,+

      I will seek good for you.
