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 ASCENTS. BY DAVID. I have rejoiced in those saying to me, “We go to the house of YHWH.”

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

Our feet have been standing in your gates, O Jerusalem!

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

Jerusalem—the built one—[Is] as a city that is joined to itself together.

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

For there tribes have gone up, Tribes of YAH, companies of Israel, To give thanks to the Name of YHWH.

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

For there thrones of judgment have sat, 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.

Ask [for] the peace of Jerusalem, Those loving you are at rest.

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

Peace is in your bulwark, rest in your high places,

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

For the sake of my brothers and my companions, Please let me speak, “Peace [be] in you.”

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

For the sake of the house of our God YHWH, I seek good for you!
