Psalmorum 122

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

A Song of the going up. Of David. I was glad because they said to me, We will go into the house of the Lord.

2 Stantes erant pedes nostri, in atriis tuis Ierusalem.

At last our feet were inside your doors, O Jerusalem.

3 Ierusalem, quæ ædificatur ut civitas: cuius participatio eius in idipsum.

O Jerusalem, you are like a town which is well joined together;

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

To which the tribes went up, even the tribes of the Lord, for a witness to Israel, to give praise to the name of the Lord.

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

For there seats for the judges were placed, even the rulers' seats of the line of David.

6 Rogate quæ ad pacem sunt Ierusalem: et abundantia diligentibus te.

O make prayers for the peace of Jerusalem; may they whose love is given to you do well.

7 Fiat pax in virtute tua: et abundantia in turribus tuis.

May peace be inside your walls, and wealth in your noble houses.

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

Because of my brothers and friends, I will now say, Let peace be with you.

9 Propter domum Domini Dei nostri, quæsivi bona tibi.

Because of the house of the Lord our God, I will be working for your good.
