Psalmorum 122

1 Canticum graduum. [Lætatus sum in his quæ dicta sunt mihi: In domum Domini ibimus.

A Song of degrees. Of David. I rejoiced when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of Jehovah.

2 Stantes erant pedes nostri in atriis tuis, Jerusalem.

Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem, quæ ædificatur ut civitas, cujus participatio ejus in idipsum.

Jerusalem, which art built as a city that is compact together,

4 Illuc enim ascenderunt tribus, tribus Domini: testimonium Israël, ad confitendum nomini Domini.

Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of Jah, a testimony to Israel, to give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.

5 Quia illic sederunt sedes in judicio, sedes super domum David.

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

6 Rogate quæ ad pacem sunt Jerusalem, 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 bulwarks, prosperity within thy palaces.

8 Propter fratres meos et proximos meos, loquebar pacem de te.

For my brethren and companions' sakes I will say, Peace be within thee!

9 Propter domum Domini Dei nostri, quæsivi bona tibi.]

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