Geneva1599 - Psalms - 132

132:1  A song of degrees. Lord, remember Dauid with all his affliction.

132:2  Who sware vnto the Lord, and vowed vnto the mightie God of Iaakob, saying,

132:3  I will not enter into the tabernacle of mine house, nor come vpon my pallet or bed,

132:4  Nor suffer mine eyes to sleepe, nor mine eye lids to slumber,

132:5  Vntill I finde out a place for the Lord, an habitation for the mightie God of Iaakob.

132:6  Lo, we heard of it in Ephrathah, and found it in the fieldes of the forest.

132:7  We will enter into his Tabernacles, and worship before his footestoole.

132:8  Arise, O Lord, to come into thy rest, thou, and the Arke of thy strength.

132:9  Let thy Priests be clothed with righteousnesse, and let thy Saints reioyce.

132:10  For thy seruant Dauids sake refuse not the face of thine Anointed.

132:11  The 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.

132:12  If thy sonnes keepe my couenant, and my testimonies, that I shall teach them, their sonnes also shall sit vpon thy throne for euer.

132:13  For the Lord hath chosen Zion, and loued to dwell in it, saying,

132:14  This is my rest for euer: here will I dwell, for I haue a delite therein.

132:15  I will surely blesse her vitailes, and will satisfie her poore with bread,

132:16  And will clothe her Priests with saluation, and her Saints shall shoute for ioye.

132:17  There will I make the horne of Dauid to bud: for I haue ordeined a light for mine Anoynted.

132:18  His enemies will I clothe with shame, but on him his crowne shall florish.
