< Psalmorum 122 >

1 Canticum graduum. Lætatus sum in his, quæ dicta sunt mihi: In domum Domini ibimus.
I rejoiced at the things that were said to me: We shall go into the house of the Lord.
2 Stantes erant pedes nostri, in atriis tuis Ierusalem.
Our feet were standing in thy courts, O Jerusalem.
3 Ierusalem, quæ ædificatur ut civitas: cuius participatio eius in idipsum.
Jerusalem, which is built as a city, which is compact together.
4 Illuc enim ascenderunt tribus, tribus Domini: testimonium Israel ad confitendum nomini Domini.
For thither did the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to praise the name of the Lord.
5 Quia illic sederunt sedes in iudicio, sedes super domum David.
Because their seats have sat in judgment, seats upon the house of David.
6 Rogate quæ ad pacem sunt Ierusalem: et abundantia diligentibus te.
Pray ye for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem: and abundance for them that love thee.
7 Fiat pax in virtute tua: et abundantia in turribus tuis.
Let peace be in thy strength: and abundance in thy towers.
8 Propter fratres meos, et proximos meos, loquebar pacem de te:
For the sake of my brethren, and of my neighbours, I spoke peace of thee.
9 Propter domum Domini Dei nostri, quæsivi bona tibi.
Because of the house of the Lord our God, I have sought good things for thee.
