P122b. I joyed when to the house of God

1 I joyed when to the house of God,
go up, they said to me.
2 Jerusalem, within thy gates
our feet shall standing be.
3 Jerusalem, as a city, is
compactly built together:
4 unto that place the tribes go up,
the tribes of God go thither, –

A statute this for Israel, —
to God’s name thanks to pay.
5 For thrones of judgment, even the thrones
of David’s house there stay.
