| 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.
