1.I was filled with joy and gladness
when they said with one accord,
“Let us make our pilgrim journey
to the house of God the LORD.”
O Jerus’lem, O Jerus’lem,
we are standing in your gates;
we are standing in your gates.
2.As a city bound together
is Jerusalem designed.
There, by law, the tribes ascending
thank the LORD in praise combined.
Thrones of David, thrones of David,
there for royal justice stand;
there for royal justice stand.
3.Pray for peace, the peace of Zion:
“Prosper those who love you well!
Peace be in your walls forever;
safety in your towers dwell!”
Peace and safety, peace and safety
in Jerusalem abound;
in Jerusalem abound.
4.For the sake of my companions,
for my brothers, I will say:
“May God’s peace abide within you!”
For the temple’s sake I pray.
For the LORD’s house, for the LORD’s house
I will ever seek your good;
I will ever seek your good.
