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 huic David laetatus sum in his quae 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 Hierusalem

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

Hierusalem quae aedificatur ut civitas cuius participatio eius in id ipsum

4 For thither go up the tribes of the Lord, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord.

illic enim ascenderunt tribus tribus Domini testimonium Israhel 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 iudicium sedes super domum David

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

rogate quae ad pacem sunt Hierusalem 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 quaesivi bona tibi
