Psalms 132

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

A song of ascents. Yahweh, for David's sake call to mind all his afflictions.

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

Call to mind how he swore to Yahweh, how he 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,

He said, “I will not enter my house or get 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 rest to my eyelids

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

until I find a place for Yahweh, 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.

See, we heard about it in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.

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

We will go into God's tabernacle; we will worship at his footstool.

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

Arise, Yahweh, to your resting place, you and the ark of your strength!

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

May your priests be clothed with integrity; may your faithful ones shout for joy.

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

For your servant David's sake, do not turn away from your anointed king.

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.

Yahweh swore a sure oath to David, a sure oath that he will not revoke: “I will place one of your descendants on 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 sons keep my covenant and the laws that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forevermore.”

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

Certainly Yahweh has chosen Zion, he has desired her for his seat.

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

“This is my resting place forever. I will live here, for I desire her.

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

I will abundantly bless her with provisions. 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, her faithful ones will 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 a horn to sprout for David and set up a lamp for my anointed one.

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

I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on him his crown will shine.”
