The Psalms

Psalm 132

A Song of Ascents.

 ^132:1Jehovah, remember for David

 All his affliction;

 ^132:2How he sware unto Jehovah,

 And vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob:

 ^132:3Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house,

 Nor go up into my bed;

 ^132:4I will not give sleep to mine eyes,

 Or slumber to mine eyelids;

 ^132:5Until I find out a place for Jehovah,

 A tabernacle for the Mighty One of Jacob.

 ^132:6Lo, we heard of it in Ephrathah:

 We found it in the field of the wood.

 ^132:7We will go into his tabernacles;

 We will worship at his footstool.

 ^132:8Arise, O Jehovah, into thy resting-place;

 Thou, and the ark of thy strength.

 ^132:9Let thy priest be clothed with righteousness;

 And let thy saints shout for joy.

 ^132:10For thy servant David's sake

 Turn not away the face of thine anointed.

 ^132:11Jehovah hath sworn unto David in truth;

 He will not turn from it:

 Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.

 ^132:12If thy children will keep my covenant

 And my testimony that I shall teach them,

 Their children also shall sit upon thy throne for evermore.

 ^132:13For Jehovah hath chosen Zion;

 He hath desired it for his habitation.

 ^132:14This is my resting-place for ever:

 Here will I dwell; for I have desired it.

 ^132:15I will abundantly bless her provision:

 I will satisfy her poor with bread.

 ^132:16Her priests also will I clothe with salvation;

 And her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

 ^132:17There will I make the horn of David to bud:

 I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.

 ^132:18His enemies will I clothe with shame;

 But upon himself shall his crown flourish.
