Psalms 122

1 “A song of the degrees by David.” I was rejoiced when they said unto me, Unto the house of the Lord let us go.

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

2 Our feet are now standing within thy gates, O Jerusalem!

Stantes erant pedes nostri in atriis tuis, Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem, which art built as a city wherein all associate together.

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

4 For thither go up the tribes of the Lord, as a testimony for 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 are placed chairs for [giving] judgment, the chairs for the house of David.—

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

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

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

7 May there be peace within thy walls, prosperity within thy palaces,

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

8 For the sake of my brethren and my friends, let me now speak, 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, will I seek thy good.

Propter domum Domini Dei nostri, quæsivi bona tibi.
