Psalms 122

1 A Song of Ascents; of David. I rejoiced when they said unto me: 'Let us go unto the house of the LORD.'

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

2 Our feet are standing within thy gates, O Jerusalem;

Stantes erant pedes nostri in atriis tuis, Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem, that art builded as a city that is compact together;

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

4 Whither the tribes went up, even the tribes of the LORD, as a testimony unto Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.

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

5 For there were set thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

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

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem; may they prosper that love thee.

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

7 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

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

8 For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say: 'Peace be within thee.'

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 thy good.

Propter domum Domini Dei nostri, quæsivi bona tibi.
