Psalmorum 132
1 Canticum graduum. [Memento, Domine, David, et omnis mansuetudinis ejus:
A Song of degrees. LORD, remember David, [and] all his afflictions:
2 sicut juravit Domino; votum vovit Deo Jacob:
How he sware unto the LORD, [and] vowed unto the mighty [God] of Jacob;
3 Si introiero in tabernaculum domus meæ; si ascendero in lectum strati mei;
Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;
4 si dedero somnum oculis meis, et palpebris meis dormitationem,
I will not give sleep to mine eyes, [or] slumber to mine eyelids,
5 et requiem temporibus meis, donec inveniam locum Domino, tabernaculum Deo Jacob.
Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty [God] of Jacob.
6 Ecce audivimus eam in Ephrata; invenimus eam in campis silvæ.
Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.
7 Introibimus in tabernaculum ejus; adorabimus in loco ubi steterunt pedes ejus.
We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.
8 Surge, Domine, in requiem tuam, tu et arca sanctificationis tuæ.
Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.
9 Sacerdotes tui induantur justitiam, et sancti tui exsultent.
Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.
10 Propter David servum tuum non avertas faciem christi tui.
For thy servant David’s sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.
11 Juravit Dominus David veritatem, et non frustrabitur eam: De fructu ventris tui ponam super sedem tuam.
The LORD hath sworn [in] truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
12 Si custodierint filii tui testamentum meum, et testimonia mea hæc quæ docebo eos, et filii eorum usque in sæculum sedebunt super sedem tuam.
If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.
13 Quoniam elegit Dominus Sion: elegit eam in habitationem sibi.
For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired [it] for his habitation.
14 Hæc requies mea in sæculum sæculi; hic habitabo, quoniam elegi eam.
This [is] my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
15 Viduam ejus benedicens benedicam; pauperes ejus saturabo panibus.
I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16 Sacerdotes ejus induam salutari, et sancti ejus exsultatione exsultabunt.
I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
17 Illuc producam cornu David; paravi lucernam christo meo.
There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.
18 Inimicos ejus induam confusione; super ipsum autem efflorebit sanctificatio mea.]
His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
