I was glad when they said unto me  *

We will go into the house of the Lord.

Our feet shall stand in thy gates *

O Jerusalem.

Jerusalem is built as a city *

that is at unity in itself.

For thither the tribes go up, even the tribes of the Lord *

to testify unto Israel, to give thanks unto the Name of the Lord.

For there is the seat of judgement *

even the seat of the house of David.

O pray for the peace of Jerusalem *

they shall prosper that love thee.

Peace be within thy walls *

and plenteousness within thy palaces.

For my brethren and companions’ sakes *

I will wish thee prosperity.

Yea, because of the house of the Lord our God *

I will seek to do thee good.

They that put their trust in the Lord shall be even as the mount Sion  *

which may not be removed, but standeth fast for ever.

The hills stand about Jerusalem *

even so standeth the Lord round about his people, from this time forth for evermore.

For the rod of the ungodly cometh not into the lot of the righteous *

lest the righteous put their hand unto wickedness.

Do well, O Lord *

unto those that are good and true of heart.

As for such as turn back unto their own wickedness *

the Lord shall lead them forth with the evil-doers; but peace shall be upon Israel.
