PSALM 132
1A 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 habitationa 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.
11The LORD
hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit
of thy bodyb 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 abundantlyc 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 lampd for mine anointed. 18
His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown
flourish.
