Psalms 132
1 The song of greces. Lord, haue thou mynde on Dauid; and of al his myldenesse.
A Song of degrees. LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions:
2 As he swoor to the Lord; he made a vowe to God of Jacob.
How he swore to the LORD, and vowed to the mighty God 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 come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;
4 I schal not yyue sleep to myn iyen; and napping to myn iye liddis.
I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids,
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 the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God 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 Ephratah: 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 will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.
8 Lord, rise thou in to thi reste; thou and the ark of thin halewing.
Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.
9 Thi prestis be clothid with riytfulnesse; and thi seyntis make ful out ioye.
Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.
10 For Dauid, thi seruaunt; turne thou not awei the face of thi crist.
For thy servant David’s sake turn not away the face of thy 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 sworn in truth to David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon 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 children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children also shall sit upon thy throne for evermore.
13 For the Lord chees Sion; he chees it in to dwelling to hym silf.
For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.
14 This is my reste in to the world of world; Y schal dwelle here, for Y chees it.
This is my rest for ever: 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.
I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16 I schal clothe with heelthe the preestis therof; and the hooli men therof schulen make ful out ioye in ful reioisinge.
I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints 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 make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.
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 flourish.
