Psalms 132

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

Lord, remember David, and all his afflictions:

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

How he swore unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;

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

Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;

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

I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or 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 the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.

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

Lo, 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.

We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.

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

Arise, O LORD, into your rest; you, and the ark of your strength.

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

Let your priests be clothed with righteousness; and let your saints shout for joy.

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

For your servant David's sake turn not away the face of your 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.

The LORD has sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of your body will I set upon your 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 your children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon your throne for evermore.

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

For the LORD has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his habitation.

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 poor with bread.

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

I will also 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 make the horn of David to bud: 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.
