A Song of Ascents. By David.
1. I was glad when they said to me, “Let’s go to the LORD’s house!”
2. Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem!
3. Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together,
4. where the tribes go up, even the LORD’s tribes, according to an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to the LORD’s name.
5. For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of David’s house.
6. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper.
7. Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces.
8. For my brothers’ and companions’ sakes, I will now say, “Peace be within you.”
9. For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good.

1. Cantique des montées. De David. J’ai été dans la joie quand on m’a dit : « Allons à la maison de Yahweh! »
2. Enfin ! Nos pieds s’arrêtent à tes portes, Jérusalem !
3. Jérusalem, tu es bâtie comme une ville où tout se tient ensemble.
4. Là montent les tribus, les tribus de Yahweh, selon la loi d’Israël, pour louer le nom de Yahweh.
5. Là sont établis des sièges pour le jugement, les sièges de la maison de David.
6. Faites des vœux pour Jérusalem : Qu’ils soient heureux ceux qui t’aiment !
7. Que la paix règne dans tes murs, la prospérité dans tes palais !
8. A cause de mes frères et de mes amis, je demande pour toi la paix ;
9. à cause de la maison de Yahweh, notre Dieu, je désire pour toi le bonheur.

1. Canticum graduum. [Ad te levavi oculos meos, qui habitas in cælis.
2. Ecce sicut oculi servorum in manibus dominorum suorum; sicut oculi ancillæ in manibus dominæ suæ: ita oculi nostri ad Dominum Deum nostrum, donec misereatur nostri.
3. Miserere nostri, Domine, miserere nostri, quia multum repleti sumus despectione;
4. quia multum repleta est anima nostra opprobrium abundantibus, et despectio superbis.]

1. A song of ascents. [To you I have lifted my eyes, you who dwell in the heavens.
2. Behold, as the eyes of servants are on the hands of their masters, and as the eyes of a maidservant are on the hands of her mistress, so our eyes are on the Lord our God until he has mercy on us.
3. Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us, for we have been filled with contempt;
4. for our soul has been greatly filled with the reproach of the prosperous and the contempt of the proud.]

1. Cantique des degrés. [Vers toi j’ai levé les yeux, toi qui habites dans les cieux.
2. Voici, comme les yeux des serviteurs sont fixés sur les mains de leurs maîtres, comme les yeux de la servante sur les mains de sa maîtresse, ainsi nos yeux sont tournés vers le Seigneur notre Dieu, jusqu’à ce qu’il prenne pitié de nous.
3. Prends pitié de nous, Seigneur, prends pitié de nous, car nous sommes rassasiés de mépris ;
4. car notre âme est pleinement rassasiée de l’opprobre des opulents et du mépris des superbes.]
