Canticum graduum.Lætatus sum in his quæ

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)

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.
