Psalms 132
1 The song of greces. Lord, haue thou mynde on Dauid; and of al his myldenesse.
A song of degrees. Lord, remember Dauid with all his affliction.
2 As he swoor to the Lord; he made a vowe to God of Jacob.
Who sware vnto the Lord, and vowed vnto the mightie God of Iaakob, saying,
3 I schal not entre in to the tabernacle of myn hous; Y schal not stie in to the bed of mi restyng.
I will not enter into the tabernacle of mine house, nor come vpon my pallet or bed,
4 I schal not yyue sleep to myn iyen; and napping to myn iye liddis.
Nor suffer mine eyes to sleepe, nor mine eye lids to slumber,
5 And rest to my templis, til Y fynde a place to the Lord; a tabernacle to God of Jacob.
Vntill I finde out a place for the Lord, an habitation for the mightie God of Iaakob.
6 Lo! we herden that arke of testament in Effrata, `that is, in Silo; we founden it in the feeldis of the wode.
Lo, we heard of it in Ephrathah, and found it in the fieldes of the forest.
7 We schulen entre in to the tabernacle of hym; we schulen worschipe in the place, where hise feet stoden.
We will enter into his Tabernacles, and worship before his footestoole.
8 Lord, rise thou in to thi reste; thou and the ark of thin halewing.
Arise, O Lord, to come into thy rest, thou, and the Arke of thy strength.
9 Thi prestis be clothid with riytfulnesse; and thi seyntis make ful out ioye.
Let thy Priests be clothed with righteousnesse, and let thy Saints reioyce.
10 For Dauid, thi seruaunt; turne thou not awei the face of thi crist.
For thy seruant Dauids sake refuse not the face of thine Anointed.
11 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.
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 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.
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 chees Sion; he chees it in to dwelling to hym silf.
For the Lord hath chosen Zion, and loued to dwell in it, saying,
14 This is my reste in to the world of world; Y schal dwelle here, for Y chees it.
This is my rest for euer: here will I dwell, for I haue a delite therein.
15 I blessynge schal blesse the widewe of it; Y schal fille with looues the pore men of it.
I will surely blesse her vitailes, and will satisfie her poore with bread,
16 I schal clothe with heelthe the preestis therof; and the hooli men therof schulen make ful out ioye in ful reioisinge.
And will clothe her Priests with saluation, and her Saints shall shoute for ioye.
17 Thidir Y schal bringe forth the horn of Dauid; Y made redi a lanterne to my crist.
There will I make the horne of Dauid to bud: for I haue ordeined a light for mine Anoynted.
18 I schal clothe hise enemyes with schame; but myn halewing schal floure out on hym.
His enemies will I clothe with shame, but on him his crowne shall florish.
