< Psalms 122 >

1 A Song of the going up. Of David. I was glad because they said to me, We will go into 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 At last our feet were inside your doors, O Jerusalem.
Oure feet weren stondynge; in thi hallis, thou Jerusalem.
3 O Jerusalem, you are like a town which is well joined together;
Jerusalem, which is bildid as a citee; whos part taking therof is in to the same thing.
4 To which the tribes went up, even the tribes of the Lord, for a witness to Israel, to give praise 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 seats for the judges were placed, even the rulers' seats of the line of David.
For thei saten there on seetis in doom; seetis on the hous of Dauid.
6 O make prayers for the peace of Jerusalem; may they whose love is given to you do well.
Preie ye tho thingis, that ben to the pees of Jerusalem; and abundaunce be to hem that louen thee.
7 May peace be inside your walls, and wealth in your noble houses.
Pees be maad in thi vertu; and abundaunce in thi touris.
8 Because of my brothers and friends, I will now say, Let peace be with you.
For my britheren and my neiyboris; Y spak pees of thee.
9 Because of the house of the Lord our God, I will be working for your good.
For the hous of oure Lord God; Y souyte goodis to thee.
