Psalms 131

O Lord, remember David, and all his meekness.

Memento, Domine, David, et omnis mansuetudinis ejus:

ᾠδὴ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν μνήσθητι κύριε τοῦ Δαυιδ καὶ πάσης τῆς πραΰτητος αὐτοῦ

How he swore to the Lord, he vowed a vow to the God of Jacob:

sicut juravit Domino; votum vovit Deo Jacob:

ὡς ὤμοσεν τῷ κυρίῳ ηὔξατο τῷ θεῷ Ιακωβ

If I shall enter into the tabernacle of my house: if I shall go up into the bed wherein I lie:

Si introiero in tabernaculum domus meæ; si ascendero in lectum strati mei;

εἰ εἰσελεύσομαι εἰς σκήνωμα οἴκου μου εἰ ἀναβήσομαι ἐπὶ κλίνης στρωμνῆς μου

If I shall give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids,

si dedero somnum oculis meis, et palpebris meis dormitationem,

εἰ δώσω ὕπνον τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς μου καὶ τοῖς βλεφάροις μου νυσταγμὸν καὶ ἀνάπαυσιν τοῖς κροτάφοις μου

Or rest to my temples: until I find out a place for the Lord, a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.

et requiem temporibus meis, donec inveniam locum Domino, tabernaculum Deo Jacob.

ἕως οὗ εὕρω τόπον τῷ κυρίῳ σκήνωμα τῷ θεῷ Ιακωβ

Behold we have heard of it in Ephrata: we have found it in the fields of the wood.

Ecce audivimus eam in Ephrata; invenimus eam in campis silvæ.

ἰδοὺ ἠκούσαμεν αὐτὴν ἐν Εφραθα εὕρομεν αὐτὴν ἐν τοῖς πεδίοις τοῦ δρυμοῦ

We will go into his tabernacle: we will adore in the place where his feet stood.

Introibimus in tabernaculum ejus; adorabimus in loco ubi steterunt pedes ejus.

εἰσελευσόμεθα εἰς τὰ σκηνώματα αὐτοῦ προσκυνήσομεν εἰς τὸν τόπον οὗ ἔστησαν οἱ πόδες αὐτοῦ

Arise, O Lord, into thy resting place: thou and the ark, which thou hast sanctified.

Surge, Domine, in requiem tuam, tu et arca sanctificationis tuæ.

ἀνάστηθι κύριε εἰς τὴν ἀνάπαυσίν σου σὺ καὶ ἡ κιβωτὸς τοῦ ἁγιάσματός σου

Let thy priests be clothed with justice: and let thy saints rejoice.

Sacerdotes tui induantur justitiam, et sancti tui exsultent.

οἱ ἱερεῖς σου ἐνδύσονται δικαιοσύνην καὶ οἱ ὅσιοί σου ἀγαλλιάσονται

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

Propter David servum tuum non avertas faciem christi tui.

ἕνεκεν Δαυιδ τοῦ δούλου σου μὴ ἀποστρέψῃς τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ χριστοῦ σου

The Lord hath sworn truth to David, and he will not make it void: of the fruit of thy womb I will set upon thy throne.

Juravit Dominus David veritatem, et non frustrabitur eam : De fructu ventris tui ponam super sedem tuam.

ὤμοσεν κύριος τῷ Δαυιδ ἀλήθειαν καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀθετήσει αὐτήν ἐκ καρποῦ τῆς κοιλίας σου θήσομαι ἐπὶ τὸν θρόνον σου

If thy children will keep my covenant, and these my testimonies which I shall teach them: Their children also for evermore shall sit upon thy throne.

Si custodierint filii tui testamentum meum, et testimonia mea hæc quæ docebo eos, et filii eorum usque in sæculum sedebunt super sedem tuam.

ἐὰν φυλάξωνται οἱ υἱοί σου τὴν διαθήκην μου καὶ τὰ μαρτύριά μου ταῦτα ἃ διδάξω αὐτούς καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτῶν ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος καθιοῦνται ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου σου

For the Lord hath chosen Sion: he hath chosen it for his dwelling.

Quoniam elegit Dominus Sion : elegit eam in habitationem sibi.

ὅτι ἐξελέξατο κύριος τὴν Σιων ᾑρετίσατο αὐτὴν εἰς κατοικίαν ἑαυτῷ

This is my rest for ever and ever: here will I dwell, for I have chosen it.

Hæc requies mea in sæculum sæculi; hic habitabo, quoniam elegi eam.

αὕτη ἡ κατάπαυσίς μου εἰς αἰῶνα αἰῶνος ὧδε κατοικήσω ὅτι ᾑρετισάμην αὐτήν

Blessing I will bless her widow: I will satisfy her poor with bread.

Viduam ejus benedicens benedicam; pauperes ejus saturabo panibus.

τὴν θήραν αὐτῆς εὐλογῶν εὐλογήσω τοὺς πτωχοὺς αὐτῆς χορτάσω ἄρτων

I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints shall rejoice with exceeding great joy.

Sacerdotes ejus induam salutari, et sancti ejus exsultatione exsultabunt.

τοὺς ἱερεῖς αὐτῆς ἐνδύσω σωτηρίαν καὶ οἱ ὅσιοι αὐτῆς ἀγαλλιάσει ἀγαλλιάσονται

There will I bring forth a horn to David: I have prepared a lamp for my anointed.

Illuc producam cornu David; paravi lucernam christo meo.

ἐκεῖ ἐξανατελῶ κέρας τῷ Δαυιδ ἡτοίμασα λύχνον τῷ χριστῷ μου

His enemies I will clothe with confusion: but upon him shall my sanctification flourish.

Inimicos ejus induam confusione; super ipsum autem efflorebit sanctificatio mea.

τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτοῦ ἐνδύσω αἰσχύνην ἐπὶ δὲ αὐτὸν ἐξανθήσει τὸ ἁγίασμά μου
