DouayRheims⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ A gradual canticle. I rejoiced at the things that were said to me: We shall go into the house of the Lord. ² Our feet were standing in thy courts, O Jerusalem. ³ Jerusalem, which is built as a city, which is compact together. ⁴ For thither did the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to praise the name of the Lord. ⁵ Because their seats have sat in judgment, seats upon the house of David. ⁶ Pray ye for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem: and abundance for them that love thee. ⁷ Let peace be in thy strength: and abundance in thy towers. ⁸ For the sake of my brethren, and of my neighbours, I spoke peace of thee. ⁹ Because of the house of the Lord our God, I have sought good things for thee.
