Psalms 122

1 A Song of Ascents. David’s. I was glad, when they were saying unto me, Unto the house of Yahweh, let us go!

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 Standing are our feet, within thy gates, O Jerusalem!

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

3 Jerusalem! that hath been builded, A true city, all joined together as one:

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

4 Whither have come up the tribes, The tribes of Yah, A testimony to Israel, To give thanks unto the Name of Yahweh:

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 set—Thrones for justice, Thrones for the house David.

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

6 Ask ye for the peace of Jerusalem, They shall prosper, who love 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 walls, prosperity within thy palaces:

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

8 For the sake of my brethren and friends, Oh, might I speak [saying], Peace be within thee!

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

9 For the sake of the house of Yahweh our God, will I seek blessing for thee.

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