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. Laetatus sum in his, quae 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 Ierusalem.

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

Ierusalem, quae aedificatur ut civitas: cuius participatio eius 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 Israel ad confitendum nomini Domini.

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

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

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

Rogate quae ad pacem sunt Ierusalem: 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, quaesivi bona tibi.
