Psalms 122

1 I was glad when they said to me, Let us go to the house of Jehovah.

Canticum graduum. [Lætatus sum in his quæ dicta sunt mihi: In domum Domini ibimus.

2 Our feet are standing inside thy gates, O Jerusalem.

Stantes erant pedes nostri in atriis tuis, Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem, that is built as a city that is compact together,

Jerusalem, quæ ædificatur ut civitas, cujus participatio ejus in idipsum.

4 where the tribes go up, even the tribes of Jehovah, for an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to the name of Jehovah.

Illuc enim ascenderunt tribus, tribus Domini: testimonium Israël, ad confitendum nomini Domini.

5 For there thrones are set for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

Quia illic sederunt sedes in judicio, sedes super domum David.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. They shall prosper who love thee.

Rogate quæ ad pacem sunt Jerusalem, et abundantia diligentibus te.

7 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

Fiat pax in virtute tua, et abundantia in turribus tuis.

8 For my brothers and companions' sakes I will now say, Peace be within thee.

Propter fratres meos et proximos meos, loquebar pacem de te.

9 For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God I will seek thy good.

Propter domum Domini Dei nostri, quæsivi bona tibi.]
