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.

I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

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

Our feet shall stand within your gates, O Jerusalem.

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

Jerusalem is 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.

Where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, to the testimony of Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.

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

For there are set thrones of 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 you.

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

Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces.

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

For my brothers and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within 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 seek your good.
