Accessistis ad Sion montem et civitatem Dei viventis, Ierusalem cælestem (Hebr 12, 22).
You have come close to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, which is the heavenly Jerusalem (Hebr 12:22).
Lætátus sum in eo quod dixérunt mihi: * «In domum Dómini íbimus» .
I rejoiced at the things that were said to me: We shall go into the house of the Lord.
Stantes iam sunt pedes nostri * in portis tuis, Ierúsalem.
Our feet were standing in thy courts, O Jerusalem.
Ierúsalem, quæ ædificáta est ut cívitas, * sibi compácta in idípsum.
Jerusalem, which is built as a city, which is compact together.
Illuc enim ascendérunt tribus, tribus Dómini, * testimónium Israel, ad confiténdum nómini Dómini.
For thither did the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to praise the name of the Lord.
Quia illic sedérunt sedes ad iudícium, * sedes domus David.
Because their seats have sat in judgment, seats upon the house of David.
Rogáte, quæ ad pacem sunt Ierúsalem: * «Secúri sint diligéntes te!

Vanus labor sine Domino
Without the Lord, work is in vain
