122 - Lætatus sum

1   I was glad when they said unto me, 🞙
    “We will go into the house of the Lord.”

2   Now our feet are standing 🞙
    within your gates, O Jerusalem.

3   Jerusalem is built as a city 🞙
    that is at unity in itself.

4   For there the tribes go up, even the tribes of the Lord, 🞙
    as was decreed for Israel, to give thanks unto the Name of the Lord.

5   For there is the throne of judgment, 🞙
    even the throne of the house of David.

6   O pray for the peace of Jerusalem; 🞙
    they shall prosper that love you.

7   Peace be within your walls 🞙
    and plenteousness within your palaces.

8   For my brethren and companions’ sakes, 🞙
    I will wish you prosperity.

9   Indeed, because of the house of the Lord our God, 🞙
    I will seek to do you good.
