Lyics

1 I was glad when they said unto me, 

Let us go into the house of the Lord.



2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, 

O Jerusalem!



3 Jerusalem is builded as a city 

that is compact together:



4 Whither the tribes go up, 

the tribes of the Lord,

unto the testimony of Israel, 

to give thanks unto the name of the Lord.



5 For there are set thrones of judgment,

the thrones of the house of David.



6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem;

They shall prosper that love thee.



7 Peace be within thy walls, 

and prosperity 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 seek thy good.
