Psalmorum 122

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

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 Ierusalem.

Our feet shall stand within your gates, O Jerusalem.

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

Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together:

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

Where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, to the testimony of Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.

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

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

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

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love you.

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, quæsivi bona tibi.

Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek your good.
