Psalms 132

1 A Song of Ascents. LORD, remember unto David all his affliction;

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

2 How he swore unto the LORD, and vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob:

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

3 'Surely I will not come into the tent of my house, nor go up into the bed that is spread for me;

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

4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, nor slumber to mine eyelids;

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

5 Until I find out a place for the LORD, a dwelling-place for the Mighty One of Jacob.'

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

6 Lo, we heard of it as being in Ephrath; we found it in the field of the wood.

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

7 Let us go into His dwelling-place; let us worship at His footstool.

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

8 Arise, O LORD, unto Thy resting-place; Thou, and the ark of Thy strength.

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

9 Let Thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let Thy saints shout for joy.

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

10 For Thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of Thine anointed.

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

11 The LORD swore unto David in truth; He will not turn back from it: 'Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.

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.

12 If thy children keep My covenant and My testimony that I shall teach them, their children also for ever shall sit upon thy throne.'

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

13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it for His habitation:

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

14 'This is My resting-place for ever; here will I dwell; for I have desired it.

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

15 I will abundantly bless her provision; I will give her needy bread in plenty.

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

16 Her priests also will I clothe with salvation; and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

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

17 There will I make a horn to shoot up unto David, there have I ordered a lamp for Mine anointed.

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

18 His enemies will I clothe with shame; but upon himself shall his crown shine.'

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