Psalms 122

1 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.

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.

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

At last our feet were inside your doors, O Jerusalem.

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

O Jerusalem, you are like a town which is well joined together;

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

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.

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

For there seats for the judges were placed, even the rulers' seats of the line of David.

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

O make prayers for the peace of Jerusalem; may they whose love is given to you do well.

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

May peace be inside your walls, and wealth in your noble houses.

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

Because of my brothers and friends, I will now say, Let peace be with you.

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

Because of the house of the Lord our God, I will be working for your good.
