Psalms 132
1 “A song of the degrees.” Remember, O Lord, unto David all his afflictions;
The song of greces. Lord, haue thou mynde on Dauid; and of al his myldenesse.
2 How he swore unto the Lord; how he vowed unto the mighty One of Jacob:
As he swoor to the Lord; he made a vowe to God of Jacob.
3 Surely, I will not enter into the tent of my house, nor ascend the couch of my repose;
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 grant any sleep to my eyes, nor to my eyelids any slumber:
I schal not yyue sleep to myn iyen; and napping to myn iye liddis.
5 Until I shall have found out a place for the Lord, a dwelling-place for the mighty One of Jacob.
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 at Ephratah: we met with it in the fields 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 let us then go into his dwelling: let us prostrate ourselves before 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, unto thy resting-place: thou, and the ark of thy strength.
Lord, rise thou in to thi reste; thou and the ark of thin halewing.
9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy pious servants shout for joy.
Thi prestis be clothid with riytfulnesse; and thi seyntis make ful out ioye.
10 For the sake of David thy servant turn not away the face of thy anointed.
For Dauid, thi seruaunt; turne thou not awei the face of thi crist.
11 The Lord hath sworn unto David in truth; he will not turn from it: “From the fruit of thy body will I set [some one] on the throne to succeed thee.
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 children will observe my covenant and this my testimony which I teach them: then also shall their children sit for evermore upon the throne to succeed thee.”
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 made choice of Zion: he hath desired it as a habitation for himself.
For the Lord chees Sion; he chees it in to dwelling to hym silf.
14 This is my resting-place for evermore: 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 Her provision will I bless abundantly: her needy ones will I satisfy with bread.
I blessynge schal blesse the widewe of it; Y schal fille with looues the pore men of it.
16 And her priests will I clothe with salvation: and her pious ones 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 cause to grow a horn unto David: I arrange 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 upon himself shall his crown shine brilliantly.
I schal clothe hise enemyes with schame; but myn halewing schal floure out on hym.
