Psalm 132
A Song of degrees.
- 132:1
- ¶ LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions:
- 132:2
- How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;
- 132:3
- Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;
- 132:4
- I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,
- 132:5
- Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.
- 132:6
- Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.
- 132:7
- We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.
- 132:8
- Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.
- 132:9
- Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.
- 132:10
- For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.
- 132:11
- 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.
- 132:12
- 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.
- 132:13
- For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.
- 132:14
- This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
- 132:15
- I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.
- 132:16
- I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
- 132:17
- There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.
- 132:18
- His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
