Psalmorum 132

1 Canticum graduum. Memento, Domine, David, et omnis mansuetudinis ejus:

A Song of degrees. Jehovah, remember for David all his affliction;

2 sicut juravit Domino; votum vovit Deo Jacob:

How he swore unto Jehovah, vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob:

3 Si introiero in tabernaculum domus meæ; si ascendero in lectum strati mei;

I will not come into the tent of my house, I will not go up to the couch of my bed;

4 si dedero somnum oculis meis, et palpebris meis dormitationem,

I will not give sleep to mine eyes, slumber to mine eyelids,

5 et requiem temporibus meis, donec inveniam locum Domino, tabernaculum Deo Jacob.

Until I find out a place for Jehovah, habitations for the Mighty One of Jacob. ...

6 Ecce audivimus eam in Ephrata; invenimus eam in campis silvæ.

Behold, we heard of it at Ephratah, we found it in the fields of the wood.

7 Introibimus in tabernaculum ejus; adorabimus in loco ubi steterunt pedes ejus.

Let us go into his habitations, let us worship at his footstool.

8 Surge, Domine, in requiem tuam, tu et arca sanctificationis tuæ.

Arise, Jehovah, into thy rest, thou and the ark of thy strength.

9 Sacerdotes tui induantur justitiam, et sancti tui exsultent.

Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness, and let thy saints shout for joy.

10 Propter David servum tuum non avertas faciem christi tui.

For thy servant David's sake, turn not away the face of thine anointed.

11 Juravit Dominus David veritatem, et non frustrabitur eam: De fructu ventris tui ponam super sedem tuam.

Jehovah hath sworn [in] truth unto David; he will not turn from it: Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne;

12 Si custodierint filii tui testamentum meum, et testimonia mea hæc quæ docebo eos, et filii eorum usque in sæculum sedebunt super sedem tuam.

If thy children keep my covenant, and my testimonies which I will teach them, their children also for evermore shall sit upon thy throne.

13 Quoniam elegit Dominus Sion: elegit eam in habitationem sibi.

For Jehovah hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his dwelling:

14 Hæc requies mea in sæculum sæculi; hic habitabo, quoniam elegi eam.

This is my rest for ever; here will I dwell, for I have desired it.

15 Viduam ejus benedicens benedicam; pauperes ejus saturabo panibus.

I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her needy ones with bread;

16 Sacerdotes ejus induam salutari, et sancti ejus exsultatione exsultabunt.

And I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

17 Illuc producam cornu David; paravi lucernam christo meo.

There will I cause the horn of David to bud forth; I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.

18 Inimicos ejus induam confusione; super ipsum autem efflorebit sanctificatio mea.

His enemies will I clothe with shame; but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
