Psalms 122

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

canticum graduum huic David 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 Hierusalem

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

Hierusalem quae aedificatur ut civitas cuius participatio eius in id ipsum

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

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

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

quia illic sederunt sedes in iudicium 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 Hierusalem 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
