- [A song of degrees of Dauid.]
- 1
- I was glad when they sayd vnto me: Let vs goe into the house of the Lord.
- 2
- Our feete shall stand within thy gates, O Ierusalem.
- 3
- Ierusalem is builded as a citie, that is compact together:
- 4
- Whither the tribes goe vp, the tribes of the Lord, vnto the testimonie of Israel: to giue thankes vnto the name of the Lord.
- 5
- For there are set thrones of iudgment: the thrones of the house of Dauid.
- 6
- Pray for the peace of Ierusalem: they shall prosper that loue thee.
- 7
- Peace be within thy walles: and prosperitie within thy palaces.
- 8
- For my brethren and companions sakes: I will now say, Peace be within thee.
- 9
- Because of the house of the Lord our God: I will seeke thy good.
