Psalms 132

1 A Song of Ascents. LORD, remember David and all his affliction,

The song of greces. Lord, haue thou mynde on Dauid; and of al his myldenesse.

2 how he swore to the LORD, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

As he swoor to the Lord; he made a vowe to God of Jacob.

3 “Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, nor go up into 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 I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids,

I schal not yyue sleep to myn iyen; and napping to myn iye liddis.

5 until I find out a place for the LORD, a dwelling 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 Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar.

Lo! we herden that arke of testament in Effrata, `that is, in Silo; we founden it in the feeldis of the wode.

7 “We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at his footstool.”

We schulen entre in to the tabernacle of hym; we schulen worschipe in the place, where hise feet stoden.

8 Arise, LORD, into your resting place, you, and the ark of your strength.

Lord, rise thou in to thi reste; thou and the ark of thin halewing.

9 Let your priests be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!

Thi prestis be clothid with riytfulnesse; and thi seyntis make ful out ioye.

10 For your servant David’s sake, do not turn away the face of your anointed one.

For Dauid, thi seruaunt; turne thou not awei the face of thi crist.

11 The LORD has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: “I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.

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 your children will keep my covenant, my testimony that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forever more.”

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 the LORD has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation.

For the Lord chees Sion; he chees it in to dwelling to hym silf.

14 “This is my resting place forever. I will live here, for I have desired it.

This is my reste in to the world of world; Y schal dwelle here, for Y chees it.

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

I blessynge schal blesse the widewe of it; Y schal fille with looues the pore men of it.

16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation. Her saints will shout aloud for joy.

I schal clothe with heelthe the preestis therof; and the hooli men therof schulen make ful out ioye in ful reioisinge.

17 I will make the horn of David to bud there. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.

Thidir Y schal bringe forth the horn of Dauid; Y made redi a lanterne to my crist.

18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will shine.”

I schal clothe hise enemyes with schame; but myn halewing schal floure out on hym.
