Psalms 132

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

5 Vntill I finde out a place for the Lord, an habitation for the mightie God of Iaakob.

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

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

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

7 We will enter into his Tabernacles, and worship before his footestoole.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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 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.

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

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

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

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

15 I will surely blesse her vitailes, and will satisfie her poore with bread,

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

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

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

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

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