Psalms 122

1 I was glad when they said to me, “Let’s go to Adonai’s house!”

Canticum graduum. Laetatus sum in his, quae dicta sunt mihi: In domum Domini ibimus.

2 Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem [City of peace];

Stantes erant pedes nostri, in atriis tuis Ierusalem.

3 Jerusalem [City of peace], that is built as a city that is compact together;

Ierusalem, quae aedificatur ut civitas: cuius participatio eius in idipsum.

4 where the tribes go up, even Yah’s tribes, according to a testimony for Israel [God prevails], yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to Adonai’s name.

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

5 For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of David [Beloved]’s house.

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

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem [City of peace]. Those who 'ahav ·affectionately love· you will prosper.

Rogate quae ad pacem sunt Ierusalem: 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 Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God], I will seek your good.

Propter domum Domini Dei nostri, quaesivi bona tibi.
