Psalms 132

1 A Song of Degrees. Lord, remember David, and all his meekness:

The song of greces. Lord, haue thou mynde on Dauid; and of al his myldenesse.

2 how he sware to the Lord, [and] vowed to the God of Jacob, [saying],

As he swoor to the Lord; he made a vowe to God of Jacob.

3 I will not go into the tabernacle of my house; I will not go up to the couch of my bed;

I schal not entre in to the tabernacle of myn hous; Y schal not stie in to the bed of mi restyng.

4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, nor slumber to mine eyelids, nor rest to my temples,

I schal not yyue sleep to myn iyen; and napping to myn iye liddis.

5 until I find a place for the Lord, a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.

And rest to my templis, til Y fynde a place to the Lord; a tabernacle to God of Jacob.

6 Behold, we heard of it in Ephratha; we found it in the fields of the wood.

Lo! we herden that arke of testament in Effrata, `that is, in Silo; we founden it in the feeldis of the wode.

7 Let us enter into his tabernacles: let us worship at the place where his feet stood.

We schulen entre in to the tabernacle of hym; we schulen worschipe in the place, where hise feet stoden.

8 Arise, O Lord, into your rest; you, and the ark of your holiness.

Lord, rise thou in to thi reste; thou and the ark of thin halewing.

9 Your priests shall clothe themselves with righteousness; and your saints shall exult.

Thi prestis be clothid with riytfulnesse; and thi seyntis make ful out ioye.

10 For the sake of your servant David turn not away the face of your anointed.

For Dauid, thi seruaunt; turne thou not awei the face of thi crist.

11 The Lord sware [in] truth to David, and he will not annul it, [saying], Of the fruit of your body will I set [a king] upon your throne.

The Lord swoor treuthe to Dauid, and he schal not make hym veyn; of the fruyt of thi wombe Y schal sette on thi seete.

12 If your children will deep my covenant, and these my testimonies which I shall teach them, their children also shall sit upon your throne for ever.

If thi sones schulen kepe my testament; and my witnessingis, these whiche Y schal teche hem. And the sones of hem til in to the world; thei schulen sette on thi seete.

13 For the Lord has elected Sion, he has chosen her for a habitation for himself, [saying],

For the Lord chees Sion; he chees it in to dwelling to hym silf.

14 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have chosen it.

This is my reste in to the world of world; Y schal dwelle here, for Y chees it.

15 I will surely bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.

I blessynge schal blesse the widewe of it; Y schal fille with looues the pore men of it.

16 I will clothe her priests with salvation; and her saints shall greatly exult.

I schal clothe with heelthe the preestis therof; and the hooli men therof schulen make ful out ioye in ful reioisinge.

17 There will I cause to spring up a horn to David: I have prepared a lamp for mine anointed.

Thidir Y schal bringe forth the horn of Dauid; Y made redi a lanterne to my crist.

18 His enemies will I clothe with a shame; but upon himself shall my holiness flourish.

I schal clothe hise enemyes with schame; but myn halewing schal floure out on hym.
