< Psalms 132 >

1 A Song of Ascents. Remember, O Yahweh, unto David, all his humiliations!
A song of degrees. Lord, remember Dauid with all his affliction.
2 What he Sware to Yahweh, —Vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
Who sware vnto the Lord, and vowed vnto the mightie God of Iaakob, saying,
3 Surely I will not enter the home of my own house, nor ascend my curtained couch;
I will not enter into the tabernacle of mine house, nor come vpon my pallet or bed,
4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, nor, to mine eye-lashes, slumber:
Nor suffer mine eyes to sleepe, nor mine eye lids to slumber,
5 Until I find a place for Yahweh, habitations for the Mighty One of Jacob.
Vntill I finde out a place for the Lord, an habitation for the mightie God of Iaakob.
6 Lo! we heard of it at Ephrathah, we found it in the fields of the wood.
Lo, we heard of it in Ephrathah, and found it in the fieldes of the forest.
7 We would enter his habitations, we would bow down at his footstool.
We will enter into his Tabernacles, and worship before his footestoole.
8 Arise! O Yahweh, unto thy place of rest, Thou, and the ark of thy strength.
Arise, O Lord, to come into thy rest, thou, and the Arke of thy strength.
9 Thy priests, let them be clothed with righteousness, Thy men of lovingkindness, let them shout for joy!
Let thy Priests be clothed with righteousnesse, and let thy Saints reioyce.
10 For the sake of David thy servant, do not turn away the face of thine Anointed One.
For thy seruant Dauids sake refuse not the face of thine Anointed.
11 Yahweh hath sworn unto David, in faithfulness, will he not turn from it, —Of the fruit of thy body, will I seat on thy throne.
The Lord hath sworne in trueth vnto Dauid, and he wil not shrinke from it, saying, Of the fruite of thy body will I set vpon thy throne.
12 If thy sons keep my covenant, and my testimony which I will teach them, even their sons, unto futurity, shall sit on thy throne.
If thy sonnes keepe my couenant, and my testimonies, that I shall teach them, their sonnes also shall sit vpon thy throne for euer.
13 For Yahweh hath chosen Zion, —He hath desired it as a dwelling for himself:
For the Lord hath chosen Zion, and loued to dwell in it, saying,
14 This, is my place of rest unto futurity, Here, will I dwell, for I have desired it;
This is my rest for euer: here will I dwell, for I haue a delite therein.
15 Her provision, will I abundantly bless, Her needy ones, will I satisfy with bread;
I will surely blesse her vitailes, and will satisfie her poore with bread,
16 And, her priests, will I clothe with salvation, and, her men of lovingkindness, shall, shout aloud, for joy;
And will clothe her Priests with saluation, and her Saints shall shoute for ioye.
17 There, will I cause to bud a horn to David, I have prepared a lamp for mine Anointed One;
There will I make the horne of Dauid to bud: for I haue ordeined a light for mine Anoynted.
18 His enemies, will I clothe with shame, but, upon himself, shall his crown be resplendent.
His enemies will I clothe with shame, but on him his crowne shall florish.
