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 YHWH's house."

2 Stantes erant pedes nostri in atriis tuis, Jerusalem.

Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem;

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

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

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

where the tribes go up, even the tribes of JAH, according to an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to the name of YHWH.

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

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

6 Rogate quæ ad pacem sunt Jerusalem, 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 YHWH our God, I will seek your good.
