Psalms 132

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

Jehovah, remember for David all his affliction,

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

how he swore to Jehovah, and vowed to the Mighty One 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 my eyes, or slumber to my 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 Jehovah, a tabernacle for the Mighty One of Jacob.

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

Lo, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field 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 Jehovah, into thy resting-place, thou, and the ark of thy strength.

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

Let thy priest be clothed with righteousness, and let thy sanctified shout for joy.

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

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

Jehovah has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: From the fruit of thy body I will set upon thy 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 thy sons will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their sons also shall sit upon thy throne for evermore.

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

For Jehovah 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 resting place forever. Here I will 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 sanctified 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 I will make the horn of David to bud. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.

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

I will clothe his enemies with shame, but upon himself his crown shall flourish.
