Psalms 132

canticum graduum memento Domine David et omnis adflictionis eius

LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions:

qui iuravit Domino votum vovit Deo Iacob

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

si intravero in tabernaculum domus meae si adsedero super lectum straminis mei

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

si dedero somnum oculis meis et palpebris dormitationem

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

donec inveniam locum Domino tabernacula Deo Iacob

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

ecce audivimus illum in Ephrata invenimus illum in regione saltus

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

intremus in tabernacula eius adoremus scabillum pedum eius

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

surge Domine in requiem tuam tu et arca fortitudinis tuae

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

sacerdotes tui induantur iustitia et sancti tui laudent

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

propter David servum tuum ne avertas faciem christi tui

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

iuravit Dominus David veritatem non avertetur ab ea de fructu ventris tui ponam super sedem tuam

The 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.

si custodierint filii tui pactum meum et testificationem meam quam docuero eos et filii eorum usque in aeternum sedebunt super thronum tuum

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

quia elegit Dominus Sion desideravit eam in habitaculum suum

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

haec est requies mea in sempiternum hic habitabo quia desideravi eam

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

venationem eius benedicens benedicam pauperes eius saturabo pane

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

sacerdotes eius induam salutari et sancti eius laude laudabunt

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

ibi oriri faciam cornu David paravi lucernam christo meo

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

inimicos eius induam confusione super ipsum autem florebit sanctificatio eius

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