Psalms 122

1 I was glad/happy when people said to me, “We should go to the temple of Yahweh [in Jerusalem]!”

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 And now we are here, standing inside the gates/city of [APO] Jerusalem.

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

3 Jerusalem is a city that has been rebuilt, with the result that people can gather together in it.

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

4 We [people of the] tribes of Israel who belong to Yahweh can now go up there as Yahweh commanded that we should do, and we can thank him.

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

5 There the kings of Israel who were descendants of [King] David sit on their thrones and decide cases [fairly when the people have disputes].

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

6 Pray that there will be peace in Jerusalem; I desire that those who love Jerusalem will (prosper/live peacefully).

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

7 I desire that there will be peace inside the walls of the city and that [people who are] inside the palaces will be safe.

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

8 For the sake of my relatives and friends, I say, “My desire is that that inside Jerusalem [people will live] peacefully.”

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

9 And because I love the temple of Yahweh our God, I pray that things will go well for the people who live [in Jerusalem].

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