Psalms 132

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

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. Remember, YHWH, for David, all his afflictions;

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

Who has sworn to YHWH, He has 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,

“If I enter into the tent of my house, If I go up on the couch of my bed,

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

If I give sleep to my eyes, To my eyelids—slumber,

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

Until I find a place for YHWH, dwelling places for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

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

Behold, we have heard it in Ephratah, We have found it in the fields of the forest.

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

We come into His dwelling places, We bow ourselves at His footstool.

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

Arise, O YHWH, to Your rest, You, and the Ark of Your strength,

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

Your priests put on righteousness, And Your pious ones cry aloud.

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

For the sake of Your servant David, Do not turn back 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.

YHWH has sworn truth to David, He does not turn back from it: “Of the fruit of your body, I set on the throne for you.

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 sons keep My covenant, And My testimonies that I teach them, Their sons also forever and ever Sit on the throne for you.”

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

For YHWH has fixed on Zion, He has desired [it] for a seat to Himself,

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

“This [is] My rest forever and ever, Here I sit, for I have desired it.

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

I greatly bless her provision, I satisfy her poor [with] bread,

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

And I clothe her priests [with] salvation, And her pious ones sing aloud.

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

There I cause a horn to spring up for David, I have arranged a lamp for My Anointed.

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

I clothe His enemies [with] shame, And His crown flourishes on Him!”
