Chapter 132

1

{A Song of degrees.} Jehovah, remember for David all his affliction;

2

How he swore unto Jehovah, vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob:

3

I will not come into the tent of my house, I will not go up to the couch of my bed;

4

I will not give sleep to mine eyes, slumber to mine eyelids,

5

Until I find out a place for Jehovah, habitations for the Mighty One of Jacob. ...

6

Behold, we heard of it at Ephratah, we found it in the fields of the wood.

7

Let us go into his habitations, let us worship at his footstool.

8

Arise, Jehovah, 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

Jehovah 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 keep my covenant, and my testimonies which I will teach them, their children also for evermore shall sit upon thy throne.

13

For Jehovah hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his dwelling:

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 needy ones with bread;

16

And I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

17

There will I cause the horn of David to bud forth; I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.

18

His enemies will I clothe with shame; but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
