Psalms 132
1 A Canticle in steps. O Lord, remember David and all his meekness,
A song of degrees. Lord, remember Dauid with all his affliction.
2 how he swore to the Lord, how he made a vow to the God of Jacob:
Who sware vnto the Lord, and vowed vnto the mightie God of Iaakob, saying,
3 I shall not enter into the tabernacle of my house, nor climb into the bed where I lie down;
I will not enter into the tabernacle of mine house, nor come vpon my pallet or bed,
4 I shall not give sleep to my eyes, nor slumber to my eyelids
Nor suffer mine eyes to sleepe, nor mine eye lids to slumber,
5 and rest to my temples, until I find a place for the Lord, a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
Vntill I finde out a place for the Lord, an habitation for the mightie God of Iaakob.
6 Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We discovered it in the fields of the forest.
Lo, we heard of it in Ephrathah, and found it in the fieldes of the forest.
7 We will enter into his tabernacle. We will adore in the place where his feet stood.
We will enter into his Tabernacles, and worship before his footestoole.
8 Rise up, O Lord, into your resting place. You and the ark of your sanctification.
Arise, O Lord, to come into thy rest, thou, and the Arke of thy strength.
9 Let your priests be clothed with justice, and let your saints exult.
Let thy Priests be clothed with righteousnesse, and let thy Saints reioyce.
10 For the sake of your servant David, do not turn away the face of your Christ.
For thy seruant Dauids sake refuse not the face of thine Anointed.
11 The Lord has sworn the truth to David, and he will not disappoint: I will set upon your throne from the fruit of your lineage.
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 your sons will keep my covenant and these, my testimonies, which I will teach to them, then their sons will sit upon your throne even forever.
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 the Lord has chosen Zion. He has chosen it as his dwelling place.
For the Lord hath chosen Zion, and loued to dwell in it, saying,
14 This is my resting place, forever and ever. Here I will dwell, for I have chosen it.
This is my rest for euer: here will I dwell, for I haue a delite therein.
15 When blessing, I will bless her widow. I will satisfy her poor with bread.
I will surely blesse her vitailes, and will satisfie her poore with bread,
16 I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints will rejoice with great joy.
And will clothe her Priests with saluation, and her Saints shall shoute for ioye.
17 There, I will produce a horn to David. There, I have prepared a lamp for my Christ.
There will I make the horne of Dauid to bud: for I haue ordeined a light for mine Anoynted.
18 I will clothe his enemies with confusion. But my sanctification will flourish over him.
His enemies will I clothe with shame, but on him his crowne shall florish.
