Psalms 122

1 I rejoiced at the things that were said to me: We shall go into the house of the Lord.

Canticum graduum. Laetatus sum in his, quae dicta sunt mihi: In domum Domini ibimus.

2 Our feet were standing in thy courts, O Jerusalem.

Stantes erant pedes nostri, in atriis tuis Ierusalem.

3 Jerusalem, which is built as a city, which is compact together.

Ierusalem, quae aedificatur ut civitas: cuius participatio eius in idipsum.

4 For thither did the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to praise the name of the Lord.

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

5 Because their seats have sat in judgment, seats upon the house of David.

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

6 Pray ye for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem: and abundance for them that love thee.

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

7 Let peace be in thy strength: and abundance in thy towers.

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

8 For the sake of my brethren, and of my neighbours, I spoke peace of thee.

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

9 Because of the house of the Lord our God, I have sought good things for thee.

Propter domum Domini Dei nostri, quaesivi bona tibi.
