Psalms 132

1 “A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” O LORD! remember David, And all his affliction!

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

2 How he sware to Jehovah, And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

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

3 “I will not go into my house, Nor lie down on 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, Nor slumber to my eyelids,

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

5 Until I find a place for Jehovah, A habitation for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

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

6 Behold, we heard of it at Ephratah; We found it in the fields of the forest.

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

7 Let us go into his habitation; Let us worship at his footstool!

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

8 Arise, O LORD! into thy rest, 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 thy holy ones shout for joy!

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

10 For the sake of thy servant David, Reject not the prayer of thine anointed!

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

11 Jehovah hath sworn in truth unto David, And he will not depart from it: “Of the fruit of thy body will I place upon the throne for thee.

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 statutes, which I teach them, Their children also throughout all ages 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 Jehovah hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it as his dwelling-place.

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 chosen 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 I will also clothe her priests with salvation, And her holy ones shall shout aloud for joy.

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

17 There will I cause to spring forth a horn for David; I have prepared a light 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, And the crown shall glitter upon his head.”

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