Psalms 122

1 A Song of Ascents. By David. I was glad when they said to me, “Let’s go to the LORD’s house!”

canticum graduum huic David laetatus sum in his quae dicta sunt mihi in domum Domini ibimus

2 Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem!

stantes erant pedes nostri in atriis tuis Hierusalem

3 Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together,

Hierusalem quae aedificatur ut civitas cuius participatio eius in id ipsum

4 where the tribes go up, even the LORD’s tribes, according to an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to the LORD’s name.

illic enim ascenderunt tribus tribus Domini testimonium Israhel ad confitendum nomini Domini

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

quia illic sederunt sedes in iudicium sedes super domum David

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper.

rogate quae ad pacem sunt Hierusalem et abundantia diligentibus te

7 Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces.

fiat pax in virtute tua et abundantia in turribus tuis

8 For my brothers’ and companions’ sakes, I will now say, “Peace be within you.”

propter fratres meos et proximos meos loquebar pacem de te

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

propter domum Domini Dei nostri quaesivi bona tibi
