R (1) Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord.
I rejoiced because they said to me,
“We will go up to the house of the Lord.”
And now we have set foot
within your gates, O Jerusalem. R
Jerusalem, built as a city
with compact unity.
To it the tribes go up,
the tribes of the Lord. R
According to the decree for Israel,
to give thanks to the name of the Lord.
In it are set up judgment seats,
seats for the house of David. R
Alleluia, alleluia. Whoever keeps the word of Christ,/ the love of God is truly perfected in him. Alleluia, alleluia.
- For the children of this world are more prudent in dealing with their own generation than are the children of light. l
