Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1I was glad when they said to me, “Let’s go to the LORD’s house!”
1To thee have I lifted up my eyes, who dwellest in heaven.
2Our feet are standing within your gates, 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 as a city that is compact together,
3Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us: for we are greatly filled with contempt.
4where the tribes go up, even the LORD’s tribes, according to an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to the LORD’s name.
4For our soul is greatly filled: we are a reproach to the rich, and contempt to the proud.
5For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of David’s house.
