Psalms 122

1 A Song of degrees of David. I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

canticum graduum huic David laetatus sum in his quae dicta sunt mihi in domum Domini ibimus

2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

stantes erant pedes nostri in atriis tuis Hierusalem

3 Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together:

Hierusalem quae aedificatur ut civitas cuius participatio eius in id ipsum

4 Where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, to the testimony of Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.

illic enim ascenderunt tribus tribus Domini testimonium Israhel ad confitendum nomini Domini

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

quia illic sederunt sedes in iudicium sedes super domum David

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

rogate quae ad pacem sunt Hierusalem et abundantia diligentibus te

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

fiat pax in virtute tua et abundantia in turribus tuis

8 For my brethren and companions’ sake, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

propter fratres meos et proximos meos loquebar pacem de te

9 Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.

propter domum Domini Dei nostri quaesivi bona tibi
