Psalms 132
1 The song of greces. Lord, haue thou mynde on Dauid; and of al his myldenesse.
A Song of Ascents. Remember, O Yahweh, unto David, all his humiliations!
2 As he swoor to the Lord; he made a vowe to God of Jacob.
What he Sware to Yahweh, —Vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3 I schal not entre in to the tabernacle of myn hous; Y schal not stie in to the bed of mi restyng.
Surely I will not enter the home of my own house, nor ascend my curtained couch;
4 I schal not yyue sleep to myn iyen; and napping to myn iye liddis.
I will not give sleep to mine eyes, nor, to mine eye-lashes, slumber:
5 And rest to my templis, til Y fynde a place to the Lord; a tabernacle to God of Jacob.
Until I find a place for Yahweh, habitations for the Mighty One of Jacob.
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 at Ephrathah, we found it in the fields of the wood.
7 We schulen entre in to the tabernacle of hym; we schulen worschipe in the place, where hise feet stoden.
We would enter his habitations, we would bow down at his footstool.
8 Lord, rise thou in to thi reste; thou and the ark of thin halewing.
Arise! O Yahweh, unto thy place of rest, Thou, and the ark of thy strength.
9 Thi prestis be clothid with riytfulnesse; and thi seyntis make ful out ioye.
Thy priests, let them be clothed with righteousness, Thy men of lovingkindness, let them shout for joy!
10 For Dauid, thi seruaunt; turne thou not awei the face of thi crist.
For the sake of David thy servant, do not turn away the face of thine Anointed One.
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.
Yahweh hath sworn unto David, in faithfulness, will he not turn from it, —Of the fruit of thy body, will I seat on 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 sons keep my covenant, and my testimony which I will teach them, even their sons, unto futurity, shall sit on thy throne.
13 For the Lord chees Sion; he chees it in to dwelling to hym silf.
For Yahweh hath chosen Zion, —He hath desired it as a dwelling for himself:
14 This is my reste in to the world of world; Y schal dwelle here, for Y chees it.
This, is my place of rest unto futurity, Here, will I dwell, for I have desired it;
15 I blessynge schal blesse the widewe of it; Y schal fille with looues the pore men of it.
Her provision, will I abundantly bless, Her needy ones, will I satisfy 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, her priests, will I clothe with salvation, and, her men of lovingkindness, shall, shout aloud, for joy;
17 Thidir Y schal bringe forth the horn of Dauid; Y made redi a lanterne to my crist.
There, will I cause to bud a horn to David, I have prepared a lamp for mine Anointed One;
18 I schal clothe hise enemyes with schame; but myn halewing schal floure out on hym.
His enemies, will I clothe with shame, but, upon himself, shall his crown be resplendent.
