Psalmorum 122

1 Canticum graduum. Lætatus sum in his, quæ 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 the LORD's house."

2 Stantes erant pedes nostri, in atriis tuis Ierusalem.

Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem;

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

Jerusalem, that is built as a city that is joined together;

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

where the tribes go up, even the tribes of the LORD, according to an ordinance for 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 for judgment, the thrones of David's house.

6 Rogate quæ ad pacem sunt Ierusalem: 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, quæsivi bona tibi.

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