Psalm 122 (Laetatus sum)

O fame most joyfull! O joy most lively delightfull!
Loe, I do heare Gods temple, as erst, soe againe be frequented
And we within thy porches againe glad-wonted abiding,
Lovely Salem shall find: thou citty rebuilt as a citty,
Late disperst, but now united in absolute order.
Now there shall be the place for Gods holy people appointed,
First to behold his pledge, then sing allmighty Jehova.
Now there shall be the seate, where not to be justiced only,
All shall freely resort whom strife, hate, injury vexeth:
But where Davids house and ofspring heav'nly beloved
Shall both judges sitt, and raigne kings throned in honor.
Pray then peace to Salem: to her frends all happy proceeding,
Wish to her walls all rest, to her fortes all blessed aboundance.
This with cause doe I pray, sith from these blisses a blessing
My brother and kinsman, my friend and country deriveth:
This doe I wish and more, if more good rest to be wished,
Since our God here builds him an house, allmighty Jehova.
