Psalmorum 122

1 canticum graduum huic David laetatus sum in his quae dicta sunt mihi in domum Domini ibimus

A Song of degrees. Of David. I rejoiced when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of Jehovah.

2 stantes erant pedes nostri in atriis tuis Hierusalem

Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

3 Hierusalem quae aedificatur ut civitas cuius participatio eius in id ipsum

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

4 illic enim ascenderunt tribus tribus Domini testimonium Israhel ad confitendum nomini Domini

Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of Jah, a testimony to Israel, to give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.

5 quia illic sederunt sedes in iudicium sedes super domum David

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

6 rogate quae ad pacem sunt Hierusalem et abundantia diligentibus te

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

7 fiat pax in virtute tua et abundantia in turribus tuis

Peace be within thy bulwarks, prosperity within thy palaces.

8 propter fratres meos et proximos meos loquebar pacem de te

For my brethren and companions' sakes I will say, Peace be within thee!

9 propter domum Domini Dei nostri quaesivi bona tibi

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