I joy�d when to the house of God,
Go up, they said to me.
Jerusalem, within thy gates
our feet shall standing be.
Jerus�lem, as a city, is
compactly built together:
Unto that place the tribes go up,
the tribes of God go thither:
To Isr�el�s testimony, there
to God�s name thanks to pay.
For thrones of judgment, ev�n the thrones
of David�s house, there stay.
Pray that Jerusalem may have
peace and felicity:
Let them that love thee and thy peace
have still prosperity.
Therefore I wish that peace may still
within thy walls remain,
And ever may thy palaces
prosperity retain.
Now, for my friends� and brethren�s sakes,
Peace be in thee, I�ll say.
And for the house of God our Lord,
I�ll seek thy good alway.
