Psalms 132
1 A Song of degrees. LORD, remember David, [and] all his afflictions:
Canticum graduum. Memento Domine David, et omnis mansuetudinis eius:
2 How he sware unto the LORD, [and] vowed unto the mighty [God] of Jacob;
Sicut iuravit Domino, votum vovit Deo Iacob:
3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;
Si introiero in tabernaculum domus meæ, si ascendero in lectum strati mei:
4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, [or] slumber to mine eyelids,
Si dedero somnum oculis meis, et palpebris meis dormitationem:
5 Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty [God] of Jacob.
Et requiem temporibus meis: donec inveniam locum Domino, tabernaculum Deo Iacob.
6 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.
Ecce audivimus eam in Ephrata: invenimus eam in campis silvæ.
7 We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.
Introibimus in tabernaculum eius: adorabimus in loco, ubi steterunt pedes eius.
8 Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.
Surge Domine in requiem tuam, tu et arca sanctificationis tuæ.
9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.
Sacerdotes tui induantur iustitiam: et sancti tui exultent.
10 For thy servant David’s sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.
Propter David servum tuum, non avertas faciem Christi tui.
11 The LORD hath sworn [in] truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
Iuravit Dominus David veritatem, et non frustrabitur eam: de fructu ventris tui ponam super sedem tuam.
12 If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.
Si custodierint filii tui testamentum meum, et testimonia mea hæc, quæ docebo eos: Et filii eorum usque in sæculum, sedebunt super sedem tuam.
13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired [it] for his habitation.
Quoniam elegit Dominus Sion: elegit eam in habitationem sibi.
14 This [is] my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
Hæc requies mea in sæculum sæculi: hic habitabo quoniam elegi eam.
15 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.
Viduam eius benedicens benedicam: pauperes eius saturabo panibus.
16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
Sacerdotes eius induam salutari: et sancti eius exultatione exultabunt.
17 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.
Illuc producam cornu David, paravi lucernam Christo meo.
18 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
Inimicos eius induam confusione: super ipsum autem efflorebit sanctificatio mea.
