REFRAIN
We shall go up into God's House,
With sounds of joy,
We shall go into the House of the Lord.
VERSE 1
I rejoiced when I heard them say:
Let us go to God's House.
And now our feet are standing
Within your gates, O Jerusalem.
VERSE 2
Jerusalem is built as a city
Strongly compact.
It is there that the tribes go up,
The tribes of the Lord.
VERSE 3
For Israel's law it is
There to praise the Lord's name.
There were set the thrones of judgement
Of the house of David.
VERSE 4
For the peace of Jerusalem, pray!
Peace be to your homes!
May peace reign in your walls,
In your palaces, peace!
VERSE 5
For love of my brethren and friends,
I say: "Peace upon you!"
For love of the house of the Lord
I will ask for your good.
VERSE 6
Praise the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit,
Both now and forever,
The God who is, who was and is to come
At the end of the ages.
