Jerusalem, quae aedificatur ut civitas,
cuius participatio eius in idipsum:
illuc enim ascenderunt tribus, tribus Domini,
ad confitendum nomini tuo, Domine.
(Ps. 121:3–4)

Jerusalem, which is built as a city,
which is compact together:
for thither did the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord,
to praise Thy name, O Lord.

Jerusalem, which is built as a city,
that is at unity within itself:
there the tribes went up, the tribes of the Lord,
to praise thy name, O Lord.
