< Psalms 132 >

1 A Song of the Ascents. Remember, Jehovah, for David, all his afflictions.
A song of degrees. Lord, remember Dauid with all his affliction.
2 Who hath sworn to Jehovah. He hath vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
Who sware vnto the Lord, and vowed vnto the mightie God of Iaakob, saying,
3 'If I enter into the tent of my house, If I go up on the couch of my bed,
I will not enter into the tabernacle of mine house, nor come vpon my pallet or bed,
4 If I give sleep to mine eyes, To mine eyelids — slumber,
Nor suffer mine eyes to sleepe, nor mine eye lids to slumber,
5 Till I do find a place for Jehovah, Tabernacles for the Mighty One of Jacob.
Vntill I finde out a place for the Lord, an habitation for the mightie God of Iaakob.
6 'Lo, we have heard it in Ephratah, We have 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 We come in to His tabernacles, We bow ourselves at His footstool.
We will enter into his Tabernacles, and worship before his footestoole.
8 Arise, O Jehovah, to 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 Thy priests do put on righteousness, And Thy pious ones cry aloud.
Let thy Priests be clothed with righteousnesse, and let thy Saints reioyce.
10 For the sake of David Thy servant, Turn not back the face of Thine anointed.
For thy seruant Dauids sake refuse not the face of thine Anointed.
11 Jehovah hath sworn truth to David, He turneth not back from it: Of the fruit of thy body, I set on 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 sons keep My covenant, And My testimonies that I teach them, Their sons also for ever and ever, Do sit on the throne for thee.
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 fixed on Zion, He hath desired [it] for a seat to Himself,
For the Lord hath chosen Zion, and loued to dwell in it, saying,
14 This [is] My rest for ever and ever, Here do I sit, for I have desired it.
This is my rest for euer: here will I dwell, for I haue a delite therein.
15 Her provision I greatly bless, Her needy ones I satisfy [with] bread,
I will surely blesse her vitailes, and will satisfie her poore with bread,
16 And her priests I clothe [with] salvation, And her pious ones do sing aloud.
And will clothe her Priests with saluation, and her Saints shall shoute for ioye.
17 There I cause to spring up a horn for David, I have arranged a lamp 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 I do clothe [with] shame, And upon him doth his crown flourish!
His enemies will I clothe with shame, but on him his crowne shall florish.
