| Chapter 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. |
