I have a Glock 22 that I purchased a 357 sig 9 inch barrel. I found recipes for 124g and 147 g bullets but they were setup using a 4 inch barrel to establish min/max loads with safe pressures.

I am looking for any data on whether these recipes are safe for a 9 inch barrel? I do not want to over pressurize the barrel.

The length of the barrel does not impact maximum pressure. Keep your loads within safe specifications and you will be fine.
 
The last three answers tell all there is to say about barrel length. Pressure is a product of the case capacity and bullet weight and construction. Longer barrels are out of the equation. If you follow the recommended loads your pressure will likely be fine and the longer barrel will allow the pressure to accelerate the bullets to a slightly higher velocity. The burned powder will have a little more time to cool in your longer barrel so you will get less flash at the muzzle.
