Psalmi 123

VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Canticum graduum. Nisi quia Dominus erat in nobis, dicat nunc Israël,	1 I rejoiced at the things that were said to me: We shall go into the house of the Lord.
2 nisi quia Dominus erat in nobis : cum exsurgerent homines in nos,	2 Our feet were standing in thy courts, O Jerusalem.
3 forte vivos deglutissent nos ; cum irasceretur furor eorum in nos,	3 Jerusalem, which is built as a city, which is compact together.
4 forsitan aqua absorbuisset nos ;	4 For thither did the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to praise the name of the Lord.
5 torrentem pertransivit anima nostra ; forsitan pertransisset anima nostra aquam intolerabilem.	5 Because their seats have sat in judgment, seats upon the house of David.
6 Benedictus Dominus, qui non dedit nos in captionem dentibus eorum.	6 Pray ye for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem: and abundance for them that love thee.
7 Anima nostra sicut passer erepta est de laqueo venantium ; laqueus contritus est, et nos liberati sumus.	7 Let peace be in thy strength: and abundance in thy towers.
8 Adjutorium nostrum in nomine Domini, qui fecit cælum et terram.	8 For the sake of my brethren, and of my neighbours, I spoke peace of thee.
	9 Because of the house of the Lord our God, I have sought good things for thee.
