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.

I was glad when they said unto me: We will go, into the house of the Lord. For thither the tribes go up, ev'n the tribes of the Lord: to testify unto Israel, and to give thanks unto the Name of the Lord. For there is the seat of judgement: even the seat of the house of David. O pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. Peace be within thy walls: and plenteousness within thy palaces.
