Psalms 121

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	JERUSALEM
1 A Canticle in steps. I rejoiced in the things that were said to me: “We shall go into the house of the Lord.”	1 Cantique pour les montées. Je lève les yeux vers les monts: d'où viendra mon secours?
2 Our feet were standing in your courts, O Jerusalem.	2 Le secours me vient de Yahvé qui a fait le ciel et la terre.
3 Jerusalem has been built as a city, whose participation is unto itself.	3 Qu'il ne laisse broncher ton pied! qu'il ne dorme, ton gardien!
4 For to that place, the tribes ascended, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to confess to the name of the Lord.	4 Vois, il ne dort ni ne sommeille, le gardien d'Israël.
5 For in that place, seats have sat down in judgment, seats above the house of David.	5 Yahvé est ton gardien, ton ombrage, Yahvé, à ta droite.
6 Petition for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem, and for abundance for those who love you.	6 De jour, le soleil ne te frappe, ni la lune en la nuit.
7 Let peace be in your virtue, and abundance in your towers.	7 Yahvé te garde de tout mal, il garde ton âme.
8 For the sake of my brothers and my neighbors, I spoke peace about you.	8 Yahvé te garde au départ, au retour, dès lors et à jamais.
9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I sought good things for you.
