1  The song of degrees of David. I am glad in these things, that be said to me; We shall go into the house of the Lord.

2 Our feet were standing; in thy halls or foreyards, thou Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem, which is builded as a city; whose partaking thereof is into the same thing.

4 For the lineages, the lineages of the Lord, ascended [or went up] thither, the witnessing of Israel; to acknowl-edge to the name of the Lord.

5 For they sat there on seats in doom; seats on the house of David.

6 Pray ye those things, that be to the peace of Jerusalem; and abundance be to them that love thee.

7 Peace be made in thy strength; and abundance in thy towers.

8 For my brethren and my neigh-bours; I spake peace of thee.

9 For the house of our Lord God; I sought goods to thee.
