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 was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

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 is builded 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 the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.

5 quia illic sederunt sedes in iudicium sedes super domum David

For there are set thrones of 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 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

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