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.  

 

 

--
