Psalms 132
1 A
Song of
degrees. LORD, remember David, and all his
afflictions:
2 How he
sware unto the
LORD, and
vowed unto the
mighty God of
Jacob; 3 Surely I will not
come into the
tabernacle of my
house, nor go
up into my
bed;
4 I will not
give sleep to mine
eyes, or
slumber to mine
eyelids, 5 Until I find
out a
place for the
LORD, an
habitation for the
mighty God of
Jacob. 6 Lo, we
heard of it at
Ephratah: we
found it in the
fields of the
wood. 7 We will
go into his
tabernacles: we will
worship at his
footstool.
8 Arise, O
LORD, into thy
rest; thou, and the
ark of thy
strength. 9 Let thy
priests be
clothed with
righteousness; and let thy
saints shout for
joy.
10 For thy
servant David's sake turn not
away the
face of thine
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. 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. 13 For the
LORD hath
chosen Zion; he hath
desired it for his
habitation. 14 This is my
rest for
ever: here will I
dwell; for I have
desired it.
15 I will
abundantly bless her
provision: I will
satisfy her
poor with
bread. 16 I will also
clothe her
priests with
salvation: and her
saints shall shout
aloud for
joy.
17 There will I
make the
horn of
David to
bud: I have
ordained a
lamp for mine
anointed. 18 His
enemies will I
clothe with
shame: but upon himself shall his
crown flourish.
