Psalms 132

1 Lord, remember David, and all his afflictions:

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

2 How he swore to the LORD, and vowed to the mighty God of Jacob;

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

3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;

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

4 I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids,

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

5 Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.

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

6 See, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.

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 go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.

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

8 Arise, O LORD, into your rest; you, and the ark of your strength.

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

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

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

10 For your servant David’s sake turn not away the face of your anointed.

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

11 The LORD has sworn in truth to David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of your body will I set on your 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 your children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit on your throne for ever more.

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 has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his habitation.

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

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

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

15 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.

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

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

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 horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.

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 himself shall his crown flourish.

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