Psalms 122

1 A song of degrees, or Psalme of David. I rejoiced, when they sayd to me, We wil go into the house of the Lord.

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

2 Our feete shall stand in thy gates, O Ierusalem.

Stantes erant pedes nostri in atriis tuis, Jerusalem.

3 Ierusalem is builded as a citie, that is compact together in it selfe:

Jerusalem, quæ ædificatur ut civitas, cujus participatio ejus in idipsum.

4 Whereunto the Tribes, euen the Tribes of the Lord go vp according to the testimonie to Israel, to prayse the Name of the Lord.

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

5 For there are thrones set for iudgement, euen the thrones of the house of Dauid.

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

6 Pray for the peace of Ierusalem: let them prosper that loue thee.

Rogate quæ ad pacem sunt Jerusalem, et abundantia diligentibus te.

7 Peace be within thy walles, and prosperitie within thy palaces.

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

8 For my brethren and neighbours sakes I will wish thee now prosperitie.

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

9 Because of the House of the Lord our God, I will procure thy wealth.

Propter domum Domini Dei nostri, quæsivi bona tibi.
