1 I joy'd when to the house of God,Go up, they said to me.
2 Jerusalem, within thy gatesour feet shall standing be.
3 Jerus'lem, as a city, iscompactly built together:
4 Unto that place the tribes go up,the tribes of God go thither:To Isr'el's testimony, thereto God's name thanks to pay.
5 For thrones of judgment, ev'n the thronesof David's house, there stay.
