1 canticum graduum huic David laetatus sum in his quae dicta sunt mihi in domum Domini ibimus

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 Hierusalem

Our feete shall stand in thy gates, O Ierusalem.

3 Hierusalem quae aedificatur ut civitas cuius participatio eius in id ipsum

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

4 illic enim ascenderunt tribus tribus Domini testimonium Israhel 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 iudicium sedes super domum David

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

6 rogate quae ad pacem sunt Hierusalem et abundantia diligentibus te

Pray for the peace of Ierusalem: let them prosper that loue thee.

7 fiat pax in virtute tua et abundantia in turribus tuis

Peace be within thy walles, and prosperitie within thy palaces.

8 propter fratres meos et proximos meos loquebar pacem de te
