Psalmorum 122

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

I was glad when they said to me, Let us go to the house of Jehovah.

2 Stantes erant pedes nostri, in atriis tuis Ierusalem.

Our feet are standing inside thy gates, O Jerusalem.

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

Jerusalem, that is built as a city that is compact together,

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

where the tribes go up, even the tribes of Jehovah, for an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to the name of Jehovah.

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

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

6 Rogate quae ad pacem sunt Ierusalem: et abundantia diligentibus te.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. They shall prosper who love thee.

7 Fiat pax in virtute tua: et abundantia in turribus tuis.

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

8 Propter fratres meos, et proximos meos, loquebar pacem de te:

For my brothers and companions' sakes I will now say, Peace be within thee.

9 Propter domum Domini Dei nostri, quaesivi bona tibi.

For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God I will seek thy good.
