Psalms 122

1 A song of ascents. Of David. I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD.”

The song of the grecis of Dauid. I am glad in these thingis, that ben seid to me; We schulen go in to the hous of the Lord.

2 Our feet are standing in your gates, O Jerusalem.

Oure feet weren stondynge; in thi hallis, thou Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem is built up as a city united together,

Jerusalem, which is bildid as a citee; whos part taking therof is in to the same thing.

4 where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.

For the lynagis, the lynagis of the Lord stieden thidir, the witnessing of Israel; to knouleche to the name of the Lord.

5 For there the thrones of judgment stand, the thrones of the house of David.

For thei saten there on seetis in doom; seetis on the hous of Dauid.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you prosper.

Preie ye tho thingis, that ben to the pees of Jerusalem; and abundaunce be to hem that louen thee.

7 May there be peace within your walls, and prosperity inside your fortresses.”

Pees be maad in thi vertu; and abundaunce in thi touris.

8 For the sake of my brothers and friends, I will say, “Peace be within you.”

For my britheren and my neiyboris; Y spak pees of thee.

9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your prosperity.

For the hous of oure Lord God; Y souyte goodis to thee.
