< 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 degrees. Of David. I rejoiced when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of Jehovah.
2 Oure feet weren stondynge; in thi hallis, thou Jerusalem.
Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.
3 Jerusalem, which is bildid as a citee; whos part taking therof is in to the same thing.
Jerusalem, which art built as a city that is compact together,
4 For the lynagis, the lynagis of the Lord stieden thidir, the witnessing of Israel; to knouleche to the name of the Lord.
Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of Jah, a testimony to Israel, to give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.
5 For thei saten there on seetis in doom; seetis on the hous of Dauid.
For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.
6 Preie ye tho thingis, that ben to the pees of Jerusalem; and abundaunce be to hem that louen thee.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
7 Pees be maad in thi vertu; and abundaunce in thi touris.
Peace be within thy bulwarks, prosperity within thy palaces.
8 For my britheren and my neiyboris; Y spak pees of thee.
For my brethren and companions' sakes I will say, Peace be within thee!
9 For the hous of oure Lord God; Y souyte goodis to thee.
Because of the house of Jehovah our God I will seek thy good.
