Psalms 122

1 I was glad when they said to me, “Let’s go to Adonai’s house!”

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

2 Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem [City of peace];

Stantes erant pedes nostri in atriis tuis, Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem [City of peace], that is built as a city that is compact together;

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

4 where the tribes go up, even Yah’s tribes, according to a testimony for Israel [God prevails], yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to Adonai’s name.

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

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

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

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem [City of peace]. Those who 'ahav ·affectionately love· you will prosper.

Rogate quæ ad pacem sunt Jerusalem, 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 Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God], I will seek your good.

Propter domum Domini Dei nostri, quæsivi bona tibi.]
