1. I rejoiced when I heard them say

Let us go to God’s house

And now our feet are standing

Within your gates O Jerusalem.

2. Jerusalem is built as a city

Strongly compact

It is there that the tribes go up

The tribes of the Lord.

3. For Israel’s law it is

There to praise the Lord’s name

There were set the thrones of judgment

Of the house of David.

4. For the peace of Jerusalem pray

Peace be to your homes,

May peace reign in your wall.

In your palaces peace.

5. For love of my brethren and friends

I say peace upon you.

For love of the house of the Lord

I will ask for your good.
