Psalmorum 122

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

A Song of Degrees. I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.

2 stantes erant pedes nostri in atriis tuis Hierusalem

Our feet stood in your courts, O Jerusalem.

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

Jerusalem is built as a city whose fellowship is complete.

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

For there the tribes went up, the tribes of the Lord, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the Lord.

5 quia illic sederunt sedes in iudicium sedes super domum David

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

6 rogate quae ad pacem sunt Hierusalem et abundantia diligentibus te

Pray now for the peace of Jerusalem: and [let there be] prosperity to them that love you.

7 fiat pax in virtute tua et abundantia in turribus tuis

Let peace, I pray, be within your host, and prosperity in your palaces.

8 propter fratres meos et proximos meos loquebar pacem de te

For the sake of my brethren and my neighbors, I have indeed spoken peace concerning you.

9 propter domum Domini Dei nostri quaesivi bona tibi

Because of the house of the Lord our God, I have diligently sought your good.
