Berean Standard Bible
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD.”
1To thee have I lifted up my eyes, who dwellest in heaven.
2Our feet are standing in your gates, O Jerusalem.
2Behold as the eyes of the servants are on the hands of their masters, As the eyes of the handmaid are on the hands of her mistress: so are our eyes unto the Lord our God, until he have mercy on us.
3Jerusalem is built up as a city united together,
3Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us: for we are greatly filled with contempt.
4where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.
4For our soul is greatly filled: we are a reproach to the rich, and contempt to the proud.
5For there the thrones of judgment stand, the thrones of the house of David.
