Psalms 132

1 [A Song of Ascents.] LORD, remember David and all his affliction,

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

2 how he swore to the LORD, and vowed to 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 structure of my house, nor go up into my bed;

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

4 I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my 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 for the Mighty One of Jacob."

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

6 Look, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar:

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

7 "We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at his footstool.

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

8 Arise, LORD, to your resting place, you and the ark of your strength.

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

9 Let your cohen be clothed with righteousness. Let your faithful ones shout for joy."

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

10 For your servant David's sake, do not turn away the face of your anointed one.

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

11 The LORD has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: "I will set the fruit of your body on your 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 your children will keep my covenant, my testimony that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forevermore."

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

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

14 "This is my resting place forever. Here I will live, 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 satisfy her poor with bread.

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

16 Her cohanim I will also clothe with salvation. Her faithful ones will shout aloud for joy.

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

17 There I will make the horn of David to bud. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.

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

18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will be resplendent."

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