2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

3Jerusalem--the builded one--<FI> Is<Fi> as a city that is joined to itself together.

3Jerusalem, that art builded As a city that is compact together;

4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of Jah, a testimony to Israel, to give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.
