I did in heart rejoice to hear the peoples voice, <br>
in offering so willingly: <br>
For let us up say they, and in the Lord's house pray, <br>
thus spake the folk full lovingly, <br>
Our feet that wandered wide shall in thy gates abide, <br>
O thou Jerusalem full fair, <br>
which art so seemly set, much like a city neat, <br>
the like whereof is not elsewhere. <br>
 
The tribes with one accord, the tribes of God the Lord, <br>
are thither bent their way to take: <br>
So God before did tell, that there his Israel <br>
their prayers should together make. <br>
For there are thrones erect, and that for this respect, <br>
to set forth justice orderly: <br>
Which thrones' right to maintain to David's house pertain, <br>
his folk to judge accordingly. <br>
 
To pray let us not cease, for Jerusalem's peace: <br>
thy friends God prosper mightily. <br>
Peace be thy walls about, and prosper thee throughout <br>
thy places eke continually. <br>
I wish thy prosp'rous state, for my poor brethren's sake <br>
that comfort have by means of thee. <br>
God's house doth me allure, thy wealth for to procure, <br>
so much always as lieth in me. <br>
