1<\/sup>A Canticle in steps. I rejoiced in the things that were said to me: “We shall go into the house of the Lord.”<\/span> <\/p>\n 2<\/sup>Our feet were standing in your courts, O Jerusalem.<\/span> <\/p>\n 3<\/sup>Jerusalem has been built as a city, whose participation is unto itself.<\/span> <\/p>\n 4<\/sup>For to that place, the tribes ascended, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to confess to the name of the Lord.<\/span> <\/p>\n 5<\/sup>For in that place, seats have sat down in judgment, seats above the house of David.<\/span> <\/p>\n 6<\/sup>Petition for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem, and for abundance for those who love you.<\/span> <\/p>\n 7<\/sup>Let peace be in your virtue, and abundance in your towers.<\/span> <\/p>\n 8<\/sup>For the sake of my brothers and my neighbors, I spoke peace about you.<\/span> <\/p>\n 9<\/sup>For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I sought good things for you.<\/span> <\/p>\n
