393. I was glad when they said unto me

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: (cr) they shall prosper that love thee.
7 Peace be within the walls: (cr) and prosperity within thy palaces.
8 For my brethren and companions' sakes: I will not say, Peace be within thee.
9 Because of the house of the Lord our God: I will seek thy good.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end AMEN.
