Psalms 122

1 A Song of Ascents; of David. I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of Jehovah.

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

2 Our feet are standing Within thy gates, O Jerusalem,

Stantes erant pedes nostri in atriis tuis, Jerusalem.

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

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

4 Whither the tribes go up, even the tribes of Jehovah, [For] an ordinance for Israel, To give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.

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

5 For there are set thrones 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 that 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 brethren 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.
