King James Bible 1611
| 132:1 | [A Song of degrees.] Lord remember Dauid, and all his afflictions: |
| 132:2 | How he sware vnto the Lord, and vowed vnto the mightie God of Iacob. |
| 132:3 | Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house: nor goe vp into my bed. |
| 132:4 | I will not giue sleepe to mine eyes: or slumber to mine eyelids, |
| 132:5 | Untill I finde out a place for the Lord: an habitation for the mightie God of Iacob. |
| 132:6 | Loe, wee heard of it at Ephrata: we found it in the fields of the wood. |
| 132:7 | We will goe into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstoole. |
| 132:8 | Arise, O Lord, into thy rest: thou, and the Arke of thy strength. |
| 132:9 | Let thy Priestes be clothed with righteousnesse: and let thy saints shout for ioy. |
| 132:10 | For thy seruant Dauids sake: turne not away the face of thine Anointed. |
| 132:11 | The Lord hath sworne in trueth vnto Dauid, hee will not turne from it; of the fruit of thy body will I set vpon thy throne. |
| 132:12 | If thy children will keepe my couenant and my testimonie, that I shall teach them; their children also shall sit vpon thy throne for euermore. |
| 132:13 | For the Lord hath chosen Zion: he hath desired it for his habitation. |
| 132:14 | This is my rest for euer: here will I dwell, for I haue desired it. |
| 132:15 | I will abundantly blesse her prouision: I will satisfie her poore with bread. |
| 132:16 | I will also clothe her priests with saluation: and her Saints shall shout aloud for ioy. |
| 132:17 | There will I make the horne of Dauid to budde: I haue ordained a lampe for mine Anointed. |
| 132:18 | His enemies will I clothe with shame: but vpon himselfe shall his crowne flourish. |
King James Bible 1611
The commissioning of the King James Bible took place at a conference at the Hampton Court Palace in London England in 1604. When King James came to the throne he wanted unity and stability in the church and state, but was well aware that the diversity of his constituents had to be considered. There were the Papists who longed for the English church to return to the Roman Catholic fold and the Latin Vulgate. There were Puritans, loyal to the crown but wanting even more distance from Rome. The Puritans used the Geneva Bible which contained footnotes that the king regarded as seditious. The Traditionalists made up of Bishops of the Anglican Church wanted to retain the Bishops Bible.
The king commissioned a new English translation to be made by over fifty scholars representing the Puritans and Traditionalists. They took into consideration: the Tyndale New Testament, the Matthews Bible, the Great Bible and the Geneva Bible. The great revision of the Bible had begun. From 1605 to 1606 the scholars engaged in private research. From 1607 to 1609 the work was assembled. In 1610 the work went to press, and in 1611 the first of the huge (16 inch tall) pulpit folios known today as "The 1611 King James Bible" came off the printing press.
