Psalms 122

1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. BY DAVID. I have rejoiced in those saying to me, “We go to the house of YHWH.”

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

2 Our feet have been standing in your gates, O Jerusalem!

Stantes erant pedes nostri in atriis tuis, Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem—the built one—[Is] as a city that is joined to itself together.

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

4 For there tribes have gone up, Tribes of YAH, companies of Israel, To give thanks to the Name of YHWH.

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

5 For there thrones of judgment have sat, Thrones of the house of David.

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

6 Ask [for] the peace of Jerusalem, Those loving you are at rest.

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

7 Peace is in your bulwark, rest in your high places,

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

8 For the sake of my brothers and my companions, Please let me speak, “Peace [be] in you.”

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

9 For the sake of the house of our God YHWH, I seek good for you!

Propter domum Domini Dei nostri, quæsivi bona tibi.
