A song of degrees, or Psalme of David. I rejoiced, when they sayd to me, We wil go into the house of the Lord.

2 Stantes erant pedes nostri in atriis tuis, Jerusalem.

Our feete shall stand in thy gates, O Ierusalem.

3 Jerusalem, quæ ædificatur ut civitas, cujus participatio ejus in idipsum.

Ierusalem is builded as a citie, that is compact together in it selfe:

4 Illuc enim ascenderunt tribus, tribus Domini: testimonium Israël, ad confitendum nomini Domini.

Whereunto the Tribes, euen the Tribes of the Lord go vp according to the testimonie to Israel, to prayse the Name of the Lord.

5 Quia illic sederunt sedes in judicio, sedes super domum David.

For there are thrones set for iudgement, euen the thrones of the house of Dauid.

6 Rogate quæ ad pacem sunt Jerusalem, et abundantia diligentibus te.
