Psalms 122

1 A Song of the going up. Of David. I was glad because they said to me, We will go into the house of the Lord.

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

2 At last our feet were inside your doors, O Jerusalem.

stantes erant pedes nostri in atriis tuis Hierusalem

3 O Jerusalem, you are like a town which is well joined together;

Hierusalem quae aedificatur ut civitas cuius participatio eius in id ipsum

4 To which the tribes went up, even the tribes of the Lord, for a witness to Israel, to give praise to the name of the Lord.

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

5 For there seats for the judges were placed, even the rulers' seats of the line of David.

quia illic sederunt sedes in iudicium sedes super domum David

6 O make prayers for the peace of Jerusalem; may they whose love is given to you do well.

rogate quae ad pacem sunt Hierusalem et abundantia diligentibus te

7 May peace be inside your walls, and wealth in your noble houses.

fiat pax in virtute tua et abundantia in turribus tuis

8 Because of my brothers and friends, I will now say, Let peace be with you.

propter fratres meos et proximos meos loquebar pacem de te

9 Because of the house of the Lord our God, I will be working for your good.

propter domum Domini Dei nostri quaesivi bona tibi
