Psalms 122

1 A Song of Ascents; of David. I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of the LORD.

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

2 Our feet are standing within thy gates, O Jerusalem;

Stantes erant pedes nostri, in atriis tuis Ierusalem.

3 Jerusalem, that art builded as a city that is compact together:

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

4 Whither the tribes go up, even the tribes of the LORD [for] a testimony unto Israel, to give thanks into the name of the LORD.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

8 For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

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 thy good.

Propter domum Domini Dei nostri, quæsivi bona tibi.
