1A Canticle in steps. I rejoiced in the things that were said to me: “We shall go into the house of the Lord.”stylus2Our feet were standing in your courts, O Jerusalem.stylus3Jerusalem has been built as a city, whose participation is unto itself.stylus4For to that place, the tribes ascended, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to confess to the name of the Lord.stylus5For in that place, seats have sat down in judgment, seats above the house of David.stylus6Petition for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem, and for abundance for those who love you.stylus7Let peace be in your virtue, and abundance in your towers.stylus8For the sake of my brothers and my neighbors, I spoke peace about you.stylus9For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I sought good things for you.stylus
