Charles H. Spurgeon on Psalms 122:6

1. The prayer, a) "For Jerusalem": not for ourselves merely, or for the world; but for the church. For the babes in grace; for the young men, and for the fathers. For the pastors, with the deacons and elders. b) For the "peace" of Jerusalem. Inward peace and outward peace.

2. The promise. a) To whom given: "They that love thee." b) The promise itself: "They shall prosper" —individually and collectively.

Or,

1. Love to Jerusalem is the effect of true piety.

2. Prayer for Jerusalem is the effect of that love.

3. The peace of Jerusalem is the effect of that prayer; and,

4. The prosperity of Jerusalem is the effect of that peace. G.R.
