Translation by Martin Luther (1483 - 1546)
Lætatus sum in his quæ
Language: Latin
1 [Canticum graduum.] Lætatus sum in his quæ dicta sunt mihi: In domum Domini ibimus. 2 Stantes erant pedes nostri in atriis tuis, Jerusalem. 3 Jerusalem, quæ ædificatur ut civitas, cujus participatio ejus in idipsum. 4 Illuc enim ascenderunt tribus, tribus Domini: testimonium Israël, ad confitendum nomini Domini. 5 Quia illic sederunt sedes in judicio, sedes super domum David. 6 Rogate quæ ad pacem sunt Jerusalem, et abundantia diligentibus te. 7 Fiat pax in virtute tua, et abundantia in turribus tuis. 8 Propter fratres meos et proximos meos, loquebar pacem de te. 9 Propter domum Domini Dei nostri, quæsivi bona tibi.

Psalm 121 (122)
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Latin
1 [Ein Lied Davids im höhern Chor.] Ich freue mich des, das mir [geredet]1 ist, daß wir werden ins Haus des [Herrn]2 gehen, 2 und daß [unsere]3 Füße werden stehen in deinen Toren, Jerusalem. 3 Jerusalem ist gebauet, daß es eine Stadt sei, da man zusammenkommen soll, 4 da die Stämme hinaufgehen sollen, nämlich die Stämme des [Herrn]2, zu predigen dem Volk Israel, zu danken dem Namen des [Herrn]2. 5 Denn daselbst sitzen die Stühle zum Gericht, die Stühle des Hauses David. 6 Wünschet Jerusalem Glück! Es müsse wohlgehen denen, die dich lieben! 7 Es müsse Friede sein inwendig in deinen Mauern und Glück in deinen Palästen! 8 Um meiner Brüder und Freunde willen will ich dir Frieden wünschen. 9 Um des Hauses willen des [Herrn]2, [unsers]4 Gottes, will ich dein Bestes suchen.
