Psalms 132

1 A song of degrees. Lord, remember Dauid with all his affliction.

A Song of degrees. Jehovah, remember for David all his affliction;

2 Who sware vnto the Lord, and vowed vnto the mightie God of Iaakob, saying,

How he swore unto Jehovah, vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob:

3 I will not enter into the tabernacle of mine house, nor come vpon my pallet or bed,

I will not come into the tent of my house, I will not go up to the couch of my bed;

4 Nor suffer mine eyes to sleepe, nor mine eye lids to slumber,

I will not give sleep to mine eyes, slumber to mine eyelids,

5 Vntill I finde out a place for the Lord, an habitation for the mightie God of Iaakob.

Until I find out a place for Jehovah, habitations for the Mighty One of Jacob. ...

6 Lo, we heard of it in Ephrathah, and found it in the fieldes of the forest.

Behold, we heard of it at Ephratah, we found it in the fields of the wood.

7 We will enter into his Tabernacles, and worship before his footestoole.

Let us go into his habitations, let us worship at his footstool.

8 Arise, O Lord, to come into thy rest, thou, and the Arke of thy strength.

Arise, Jehovah, into thy rest, thou and the ark of thy strength.

9 Let thy Priests be clothed with righteousnesse, and let thy Saints reioyce.

Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness, and let thy saints shout for joy.

10 For thy seruant Dauids sake refuse not the face of thine Anointed.

For thy servant David's sake, turn not away the face of thine anointed.

11 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.

Jehovah 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 If thy sonnes keepe my couenant, and my testimonies, that I shall teach them, their sonnes also shall sit vpon thy throne for euer.

If thy children keep my covenant, and my testimonies which I will teach them, their children also for evermore shall sit upon thy throne.

13 For the Lord hath chosen Zion, and loued to dwell in it, saying,

For Jehovah hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his dwelling:

14 This is my rest for euer: here will I dwell, for I haue a delite therein.

This is my rest for ever; here will I dwell, for I have desired it.

15 I will surely blesse her vitailes, and will satisfie her poore with bread,

I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her needy ones with bread;

16 And will clothe her Priests with saluation, and her Saints shall shoute for ioye.

And I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

17 There will I make the horne of Dauid to bud: for I haue ordeined a light for mine Anoynted.

There will I cause the horn of David to bud forth; I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.

18 His enemies will I clothe with shame, but on him his crowne shall florish.

His enemies will I clothe with shame; but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
