< Psalms 132 >
1 A Song of the Ascents. Remember, Jehovah, for David, all his afflictions.
The song of greces. Lord, haue thou mynde on Dauid; and of al his myldenesse.
2 Who hath sworn to Jehovah. He hath vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
As he swoor to the Lord; he made a vowe to God of Jacob.
3 'If I enter into the tent of my house, If I go up on the couch of my bed,
I schal not entre in to the tabernacle of myn hous; Y schal not stie in to the bed of mi restyng.
4 If I give sleep to mine eyes, To mine eyelids — slumber,
I schal not yyue sleep to myn iyen; and napping to myn iye liddis.
5 Till I do find a place for Jehovah, Tabernacles for the Mighty One of Jacob.
And rest to my templis, til Y fynde a place to the Lord; a tabernacle to God of Jacob.
6 'Lo, we have heard it in Ephratah, We have found it in the fields of the forest.
Lo! we herden that arke of testament in Effrata, `that is, in Silo; we founden it in the feeldis of the wode.
7 We come in to His tabernacles, We bow ourselves at His footstool.
We schulen entre in to the tabernacle of hym; we schulen worschipe in the place, where hise feet stoden.
8 Arise, O Jehovah, to Thy rest, Thou, and the ark of Thy strength,
Lord, rise thou in to thi reste; thou and the ark of thin halewing.
9 Thy priests do put on righteousness, And Thy pious ones cry aloud.
Thi prestis be clothid with riytfulnesse; and thi seyntis make ful out ioye.
10 For the sake of David Thy servant, Turn not back the face of Thine anointed.
For Dauid, thi seruaunt; turne thou not awei the face of thi crist.
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 swoor treuthe to Dauid, and he schal not make hym veyn; of the fruyt of thi wombe Y schal sette on thi seete.
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 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.
13 For Jehovah hath fixed on Zion, He hath desired [it] for a seat to Himself,
For the Lord chees Sion; he chees it in to dwelling to hym silf.
14 This [is] My rest for ever and ever, Here do I sit, for I have desired it.
This is my reste in to the world of world; Y schal dwelle here, for Y chees it.
15 Her provision I greatly bless, Her needy ones I satisfy [with] bread,
I blessynge schal blesse the widewe of it; Y schal fille with looues the pore men of it.
16 And her priests I clothe [with] salvation, And her pious ones do sing aloud.
I schal clothe with heelthe the preestis therof; and the hooli men therof schulen make ful out ioye in ful reioisinge.
17 There I cause to spring up a horn for David, I have arranged a lamp for Mine anointed.
Thidir Y schal bringe forth the horn of Dauid; Y made redi a lanterne to my crist.
18 His enemies I do clothe [with] shame, And upon him doth his crown flourish!
I schal clothe hise enemyes with schame; but myn halewing schal floure out on hym.
