A New Version of the Psalms of David ‎#224b

224b. With Joy I heard the People say

1. With Joy, I heard the People say,
Let's to the Lord's House go and pray.
2. Our Feet, henceforth, with Pieasure wait,
Jerusalem, within thy Gate.
3. Jerusalem's a City fair,
Compact, with beauteous Order there.
4. Thither the Tribes devoutly throng;
The Tribes which to the Lord belong.

To Isr'el's Witness we repair,
To honour God, with Praise, and Pray'r.
5. The Seats of Justice there have Place;
And Thrones of David's royal Race.
6. Pray Salem's Peace may lasting be;
For they shall prosper that love thee.
7. May Peace within thy Walls abound;
Thy Palaces with Joy be crown'd.

8. For Friends, and Brethren's Sake, I pray
May happy Peace, within thee stay.
9. Because Jehovah's House is there,
Thy Good shall be my constant Care.
