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’s go to Adonai’s house!”

2 Stantes erant pedes nostri, in atriis tuis Ierusalem.

Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem [City of peace];

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

Jerusalem [City of peace], 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 Yah’s tribes, according to a testimony for Israel [God prevails], yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to Adonai’s name.

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

For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of David [Beloved]’s house.

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

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem [City of peace]. Those who 'ahav ·affectionately love· you will prosper.

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

Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your 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 you.”

9 Propter domum Domini Dei nostri, quaesivi bona tibi.

For the sake of the house of Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God], I will seek your good.
