Psalms 122

1 A song of degrees, or Psalme of David. I rejoiced, when they sayd to me, We wil 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 Our feete shall stand in thy gates, O Ierusalem.

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

3 Ierusalem is builded as a citie, that is compact together in it selfe:

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

4 Whereunto the Tribes, euen the Tribes of the Lord go vp according to the testimonie to Israel, to prayse 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 are thrones set for iudgement, euen the thrones of the house of Dauid.

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

6 Pray for the peace of Ierusalem: let them prosper that loue thee.

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

7 Peace be within thy walles, and prosperitie within thy palaces.

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

8 For my brethren and neighbours sakes I will wish thee now prosperitie.

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

9 Because of the House of the Lord our God, I will procure thy wealth.

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