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 to me, “Let us go to the house of Yahweh.”

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

Jerusalem, our feet are standing within your gates!

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

Jerusalem, built as a city carefully planned!

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

The tribes go up to Jerusalem—the tribes of Yahweh— as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of Yahweh.

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

There thrones of judgment were set, 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! “May those who love you have peace.

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

May there be peace within the walls that defend you, and may they have peace within your fortresses.”

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

For the sake of my brothers and my friends I will say, “May there be peace within you.”

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

For the sake of the house of Yahweh our God, I will seek good for you.
