Psalms - Chapter 132

Chapter 131 | Psalms | Contents

1 | 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.
