THE HALLOWED HOUSE Min: I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go into the house of the Lord. Our feet have been standing Within your gates, O Jerusalem! Min: Jerusalem is built As a city that is compact together, Where the tribes go up, The tribes of the Lord, To the Testimony of Israel, To give thanks to the name of the Lord. Min: For thrones are set there for judgment, The thrones of the house of David. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May they prosper who love you. Peace be within your walls, Prosperity within your palaces. Min: For the sake of my brethren and companions, I will now say, "Peace be within you. Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek your good.
