Antiphon: We shall go up with joy to the
house of our God.

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.

Jerusalem is built as a city, strongly compact.
It is there that the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord.

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.

For the peace of Jerusalem, pray: "Peace
be to your homes!
May Peace reign in your walls, in your
palaces, peace.

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.

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.
