Psalmorum 122

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

A Song of Ascents; of David. I rejoiced when they said unto me: 'Let us go unto the house of the LORD.'

2 stantes erant pedes nostri in atriis tuis Hierusalem

Our feet are standing within thy gates, O Jerusalem;

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

Jerusalem, that art builded as a city that is compact together;

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

Whither the tribes went up, even the tribes of the LORD, as a testimony unto Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.

5 quia illic sederunt sedes in iudicium sedes super domum David

For there were 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; may they prosper that 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 brethren 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 the LORD our God I will seek thy good.
