[A song of high degrees of Dauid.]
1
I was glad when they sayde vnto me: we wyll go into the house of God.
2
Our feete shall stande in thy gates: O Hierusalem.
3
Hierusalem is builded: as a citie that is well vnited together in it selfe.
4
For the tribes do go vp thyther, euen the tribes of the Lorde: [which is] a testimonie vnto Israel for to prayse the name of God.
5
For there is ordeyned the seate for iudgement: euen the seate of the house of Dauid.
6
Pray for the peace of Hierusalem: they shall prosper that loue thee.
7
Peace be within thy walles: and plenteousnesse within thy palaces.
8
For my brethren and companions sakes: I wyll wyshe peace [to be] within thee.
9
Yea because of the house of God our Lord: I wyll procure to do thee good.
