Psalms 132

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

The song of greces. Lord, haue thou mynde on Dauid; and of al his myldenesse.

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

As he swoor to the Lord; he made a vowe to God of Jacob.

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

I schal not entre in to the tabernacle of myn hous; Y schal not stie in to the bed of mi restyng.

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

I schal not yyue sleep to myn iyen; and napping to myn iye liddis.

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

And rest to my templis, til Y fynde a place to the Lord; a tabernacle to God of Jacob.

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

Lo! we herden that arke of testament in Effrata, `that is, in Silo; we founden it in the feeldis of the wode.

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

We schulen entre in to the tabernacle of hym; we schulen worschipe in the place, where hise feet stoden.

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

Lord, rise thou in to thi reste; thou and the ark of thin halewing.

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

Thi prestis be clothid with riytfulnesse; and thi seyntis make ful out ioye.

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

For Dauid, thi seruaunt; turne thou not awei the face of thi crist.

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 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 thy sonnes keepe my couenant, and my testimonies, that I shall teach them, their sonnes also shall sit vpon thy throne for euer.

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 hath chosen Zion, and loued to dwell in it, saying,

For the Lord chees Sion; he chees it in to dwelling to hym silf.

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

This is my reste in to the world of world; Y schal dwelle here, for Y chees it.

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

I blessynge schal blesse the widewe of it; Y schal fille with looues the pore men of it.

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

I schal clothe with heelthe the preestis therof; and the hooli men therof schulen make ful out ioye in ful reioisinge.

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

Thidir Y schal bringe forth the horn of Dauid; Y made redi a lanterne to my crist.

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

I schal clothe hise enemyes with schame; but myn halewing schal floure out on hym.
