Psalms 122

1 [A Song of Ascents. By David.] I was glad when they said to me, "Let's go to Jehovah's house."

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

2 Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem;

Stantes erant pedes nostri in atriis tuis, Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem, that is built as a city that is joined together;

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

4 where the tribes go up, even the tribes of JAH, according to an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to the name of Jehovah.

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

5 For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of David's house.

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

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper.

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

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

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

8 For my brothers' and companions' sakes, I will now say, "Peace be within you."

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

9 For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God, I will seek your good.

Propter domum Domini Dei nostri, quæsivi bona tibi.]
