Psalms 132
1 A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. Lord, remember David, and all that he went through.
The song of greces. Lord, haue thou mynde on Dauid; and of al his myldenesse.
2 He made a promise to the Lord, a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:
As he swoor to the Lord; he made a vowe to God of Jacob.
3 “I will not go home, I will not go to 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 go to sleep, I will not take a nap,
I schal not yyue sleep to myn iyen; and napping to myn iye liddis.
5 until I find a place where the Lord can live, a home for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
And rest to my templis, til Y fynde a place to the Lord; a tabernacle to God of Jacob.
6 In Ephrathah we received information about the Ark of Agreement, and we found it in fields near Jaar.
Lo! we herden that arke of testament in Effrata, `that is, in Silo; we founden it in the feeldis of the wode.
7 Let's go to the place where the Lord lives and bow down at his feet in worship.
We schulen entre in to the tabernacle of hym; we schulen worschipe in the place, where hise feet stoden.
8 Come, Lord, and enter your home, together with your Ark of your power.
Lord, rise thou in to thi reste; thou and the ark of thin halewing.
9 May your priests wear goodness like clothing; may your faithful people shout for joy.
Thi prestis be clothid with riytfulnesse; and thi seyntis make ful out ioye.
10 For the sake of your servant David, don't reject the king you have chosen.
For Dauid, thi seruaunt; turne thou not awei the face of thi crist.
11 The Lord made a solemn promise to David, one he will never cancel—“I will put one of your descendants on 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 sons keep to my agreement and my laws that I will teach them, then their sons will always occupy your throne.”
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 chosen Zion, wanting to make his home there, saying:
For the Lord chees Sion; he chees it in to dwelling to hym silf.
14 “This will always be my home; this is where I want to live.
This is my reste in to the world of world; Y schal dwelle here, for Y chees it.
15 I will provide the people of the city with all they need; I will feed the poor.
I blessynge schal blesse the widewe of it; Y schal fille with looues the pore men of it.
16 I will clothe its priests with salvation; and its faithful people will shout for joy.
I schal clothe with heelthe the preestis therof; and the hooli men therof schulen make ful out ioye in ful reioisinge.
17 I will make the line of David even more powerful. I have prepared a lamp for my chosen king.
Thidir Y schal bringe forth the horn of Dauid; Y made redi a lanterne to my crist.
18 I will humiliate his enemies, but the crown he wears will shine brightly.”
I schal clothe hise enemyes with schame; but myn halewing schal floure out on hym.
