Psalms 132

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions:	1 [Song of Ascents] Yahweh, remember David and al the hardships he endured,
2 How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;	2 the oath he swore to Yahweh, his vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;	3 'I wil not enter tent or house, wil not climb into bed,
4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,	4 will not al ow myself to sleep, not even to close my eyes,
5 Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.	5 til I have found a place for Yahweh, a dwel ing for the Mighty One of Jacob!'
6 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.	6 Listen, we heard of it in Ephrathah, we found it at Forest-Fields.
7 We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.	7 Let us go into his dwel ing-place, and worship at his footstool.
8 Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.	8 Go up, Yahweh, to your resting-place, you and the ark of your strength.
9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.	9 Your priests are robed in saving justice, your faithful are shouting for joy.
10 For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.	10 For the sake of your servant David, do not reject your anointed.
11 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.	11 Yahweh has sworn to David, and wil always remain true to his word, 'I promise that I wil set a sonof yours upon your throne.
12 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.	12 If your sons observe my covenant and the instructions I have taught them, their sons too forevermore wil occupy your throne.'
13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.	13 For Yahweh has chosen Zion, he has desired it as a home.
14 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.	14 'Here shal I rest for evermore, here shal I make my home as I have wished.
15 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.	15 'I shal generously bless her produce, give her needy their fil of food,
16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.	16 I shal clothe her priests with salvation, and her faithful wil sing aloud for joy.
17 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.	17 'There I shal raise up a line of descendants for David, light a lamp for my anointed;
18 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.	18 I shal clothe his enemies with shame, while his own crown shall flourish.'
