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 Ascents; of David. I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of the LORD.

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

Our feet are standing within thy gates, O Jerusalem;

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

Jerusalem, that art builded 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, even the tribes of the LORD [for] a testimony unto Israel, to give thanks into 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 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 walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

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

For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

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

For the sake of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.
