Psalms 132

¹A song of degrees. Lord, remember Dauid with all his affliction.

²Who sware vnto the Lord, and vowed vnto the mightie God of Iaakob, saying,

³I will not enter into the tabernacle of mine house, nor come vpon my pallet or bed,

⁴Nor suffer mine eyes to sleepe, nor mine eye lids to slumber,

⁵Vntill I finde out a place for the Lord, an habitation for the mightie God of Iaakob.

⁶Lo, we heard of it in Ephrathah, and found it in the fieldes of the forest.

⁷We will enter into his Tabernacles, and worship before his footestoole.

⁸Arise, O Lord, to come into thy rest, thou, and the Arke of thy strength.

⁹Let thy Priests be clothed with righteousnesse, and let thy Saints reioyce.

¹⁰For thy seruant Dauids sake refuse not the face of thine Anointed.

¹¹The 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.

¹²If thy sonnes keepe my couenant, and my testimonies, that I shall teach them, their sonnes also shall sit vpon thy throne for euer.

¹³For the Lord hath chosen Zion, and loued to dwell in it, saying,

¹⁴This is my rest for euer: here will I dwell, for I haue a delite therein.

¹⁵I will surely blesse her vitailes, and will satisfie her poore with bread,

¹⁶And will clothe her Priests with saluation, and her Saints shall shoute for ioye.

¹⁷There will I make the horne of Dauid to bud: for I haue ordeined a light for mine Anoynted.

¹⁸His enemies will I clothe with shame, but on him his crowne shall florish.

¹Lord, remember David, and all his afflictions:

²How he sware unto the Lord, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;

³Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;

⁴I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,

⁵Until I find out a place for the Lord, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.

⁶Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.

⁷We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.

⁸Arise, O Lord, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.

⁹Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.

¹⁰For thy servant David’s sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.

¹¹The Lord hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.

¹²If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.

¹³For the Lord hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.

¹⁴This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.

¹⁵I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.

¹⁶I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

¹⁷There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.

¹⁸His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
