Psalms 122

1 A Song of the Ascents, by David. I have rejoiced in those saying to me, 'To the house of Jehovah we go.'

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

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

Stantes erant pedes nostri in atriis tuis, Jerusalem.

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

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

4 For thither have tribes gone up, Tribes of Jah, companies of Israel, To give thanks to the name of Jehovah.

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

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

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

6 Ask ye the peace of Jerusalem, At rest are those loving thee.

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

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

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

8 For the sake of my brethren and my companions, Let me speak, I pray thee, 'Peace [be] in thee.'

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

9 For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God, I seek good for thee!

Propter domum Domini Dei nostri, quæsivi bona tibi.
