Psalmorum 122

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

“A song of the degrees by David.” I was rejoiced when they said unto me, Unto the house of the Lord let us go.

2 stantes erant pedes nostri in atriis tuis Hierusalem

Our feet are now standing within thy gates, O Jerusalem!

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

Jerusalem, which art built as a city wherein all associate together.

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

For thither go up the tribes of the Lord, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord.

5 quia illic sederunt sedes in iudicium sedes super domum David

For there are placed chairs for [giving] judgment, the chairs for the house of David.—

6 rogate quae ad pacem sunt Hierusalem et abundantia diligentibus te

Pray ye for the peace of Jerusalem; may those that love thee prosper.

7 fiat pax in virtute tua et abundantia in turribus tuis

May there be peace within thy walls, prosperity within thy palaces,

8 propter fratres meos et proximos meos loquebar pacem de te

For the sake of my brethren and my friends, let me now speak, Peace be within thee.

9 propter domum Domini Dei nostri quaesivi bona tibi

For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, will I seek thy good.
