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 huic David laetatus sum in his quae dicta sunt mihi in domum Domini ibimus

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

stantes erant pedes nostri in atriis tuis Hierusalem

3 Jerusalem is built up as a city united together,

Hierusalem quae aedificatur ut civitas cuius participatio eius in id ipsum

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.

illic enim ascenderunt tribus tribus Domini testimonium Israhel ad confitendum nomini Domini

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

quia illic sederunt sedes in iudicium sedes super domum David

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

rogate quae ad pacem sunt Hierusalem 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 quaesivi bona tibi
