< Psalms 122 >
1 I was glad when they said to me, Let us go to the house of Jehovah.
Canticum graduum. Laetatus sum in his, quae dicta sunt mihi: In domum Domini ibimus.
2 Our feet are standing inside thy gates, O Jerusalem.
Stantes erant pedes nostri, in atriis tuis Ierusalem.
3 Jerusalem, that is built as a city that is compact together,
Ierusalem, quae aedificatur ut civitas: cuius participatio eius 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 Israel ad confitendum nomini Domini.
5 For there thrones are set for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.
Quia illic sederunt sedes in iudicio, sedes super domum David.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. They shall prosper who love thee.
Rogate quae ad pacem sunt Ierusalem: 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, quaesivi bona tibi.
