Psalmorum 132
1 Canticum graduum. Memento Domine David, et omnis mansuetudinis eius:
A Song of the Ascents. Remember, Jehovah, for David, all his afflictions.
2 Sicut iuravit Domino, votum vovit Deo Iacob:
Who hath sworn to Jehovah. He hath vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3 Si introiero in tabernaculum domus meae, si ascendero in lectum strati mei:
'If I enter into the tent of my house, If I go up on the couch of my bed,
4 Si dedero somnum oculis meis, et palpebris meis dormitationem:
If I give sleep to mine eyes, To mine eyelids — slumber,
5 Et requiem temporibus meis: donec inveniam locum Domino, tabernaculum Deo Iacob.
Till I do find a place for Jehovah, Tabernacles for the Mighty One of Jacob.
6 Ecce audivimus eam in Ephrata: invenimus eam in campis silvae.
'Lo, we have heard it in Ephratah, We have found it in the fields of the forest.
7 Introibimus in tabernaculum eius: adorabimus in loco, ubi steterunt pedes eius.
We come in to His tabernacles, We bow ourselves at His footstool.
8 Surge Domine in requiem tuam, tu et arca sanctificationis tuae.
Arise, O Jehovah, to Thy rest, Thou, and the ark of Thy strength,
9 Sacerdotes tui induantur iustitiam: et sancti tui exultent.
Thy priests do put on righteousness, And Thy pious ones cry aloud.
10 Propter David servum tuum, non avertas faciem Christi tui.
For the sake of David Thy servant, Turn not back the face of Thine anointed.
11 Iuravit Dominus David veritatem, et non frustrabitur eum: de fructu ventris tui ponam super sedem tuam.
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.
12 Si custodierint filii tui testamentum meum, et testimonia mea haec, quae docebo eos: Et filii eorum usque in saeculum, sedebunt super sedem tuam.
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.
13 Quoniam elegit Dominus Sion: elegit eam in habitationem sibi.
For Jehovah hath fixed on Zion, He hath desired [it] for a seat to Himself,
14 Haec requies mea in saeculum saeculi: hic habitabo quoniam elegi eam.
This [is] My rest for ever and ever, Here do I sit, for I have desired it.
15 Viduam eius benedicens benedicam: pauperes eius saturabo panibus.
Her provision I greatly bless, Her needy ones I satisfy [with] bread,
16 Sacerdotes eius induam salutari: et sancti eius exultatione exultabunt.
And her priests I clothe [with] salvation, And her pious ones do sing aloud.
17 Illuc producam cornu David, paravi lucernam Christo meo.
There I cause to spring up a horn for David, I have arranged a lamp for Mine anointed.
18 Inimicos eius induam confusione: super ipsum autem efflorebit sanctificatio mea.
His enemies I do clothe [with] shame, And upon him doth his crown flourish!
