Psalmorum 122

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

A Song of Ascents. By David. I was glad when they said to me, “Let’s go to Yahweh’s house!”

2 stantes erant pedes nostri in atriis tuis Hierusalem

Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem!

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

Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together,

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

where the tribes go up, even Yah’s tribes, according to an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to Yahweh’s name.

5 quia illic sederunt sedes in iudicium sedes super domum David

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

6 rogate quae ad pacem sunt Hierusalem et abundantia diligentibus te

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper.

7 fiat pax in virtute tua et abundantia in turribus tuis

Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces.

8 propter fratres meos et proximos meos loquebar pacem de te

For my brothers’ and companions’ sakes, I will now say, “Peace be within you.”

9 propter domum Domini Dei nostri quaesivi bona tibi

For the sake of the house of Yahweh our God, I will seek your good.
