Psalms 132

1 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, he vowed a vow to the God of Jacob:

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

3 If I shall enter into the tabernacle of my house: if I shall go up into the bed wherein I lie:

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

4 If I shall give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids,

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

5 Or rest to my temples: until I find out 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 have heard of it in Ephrata: we have found it in the fields of the wood.

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

7 We will go 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 Arise, O Lord, into thy resting place: thou and the ark, which thou hast sanctified.

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

9 Let thy priests be clothed with justice: and let thy saints rejoice.

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

10 For thy servant David’s sake, turn not away the face of thy anointed.

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

11 The Lord hath sworn truth to David, and he will not make it void: of the fruit of thy womb I will set upon thy throne.

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

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 hath chosen Sion: he hath chosen it for his dwelling.

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

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

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

15 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 shall rejoice with exceeding great joy.

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

17 There will I bring forth a horn to David: I have prepared a lamp for my anointed.

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

18 His enemies I will clothe with confusion: but upon him will my sanctification flourish.

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