¶ The song of the stairs. I was glad when they said unto me: We will go in to the house of the LORD.
Our feet shall stond in thy gates, O Ierusalem.
Ierusalem is builded as a city, that is at unity in itself.
For there the tribes go up, even the tribes of the LORD: to testify unto Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.
For there is the seat of judgment, even the seat of the house of David.
¶ O pray for the peace of Ierusalem, they shall prosper that love thee.
Peace be within thy walls, and plenteousness within thy palaces.
For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will wish thee prosperity.
Yea because of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek to do thee good.
Praise the Everlasting Lord for His Faithful Word.
