Psalms 122

1 A song of ascents. Of David. I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD.”

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

2 Our feet are standing in your gates, O Jerusalem.

Stantes erant pedes nostri, in atriis tuis Ierusalem.

3 Jerusalem is built up as a city united together,

Ierusalem, quæ ædificatur ut civitas: cuius participatio eius in idipsum.

4 where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.

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

5 For there the thrones of judgment stand, the thrones of the house of David.

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

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you prosper.

Rogate quæ ad pacem sunt Ierusalem: et abundantia diligentibus te.

7 May there be peace within your walls, and prosperity inside your fortresses.”

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

8 For the sake of my brothers and friends, I will say, “Peace be within you.”

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

9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your prosperity.

Propter domum Domini Dei nostri, quæsivi bona tibi.
