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. By David. I was glad when they said to me, “Let’s go to Yahweh’s house!”

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

Our feet are standing within your gates, 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, even Yah’s tribes, according to an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to Yahweh’s name.

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 David’s house.

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. Those who love you will prosper.

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.

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