Chapter 132

1


 

  A Song of the Ascents. Remember, Jehovah, for David, all his afflictions.  

 

 

--

2


 

  Who hath sworn to Jehovah. He hath vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:  

 

 

--

3


 

  'If I enter into the tent of my house, If I go up on the couch of my bed,  

 

 

--

4


 

  If I give sleep to mine eyes, To mine eyelids -- slumber,  

 

 

--

5


 

  Till I do find a place for Jehovah, Tabernacles for the Mighty One of Jacob.  

 

 

--

6


 

  'Lo, we have heard it in Ephratah, We have found it in the fields of the forest.  

 

 

--

7


 

  We come in to His tabernacles, We bow ourselves at His footstool.  

 

 

--

8


 

  Arise, O Jehovah, to Thy rest, Thou, and the ark of Thy strength,  

 

 

--

9


 

  Thy priests do put on righteousness, And Thy pious ones cry aloud.  

 

 

--

10


 

  For the sake of David Thy servant, Turn not back the face of Thine anointed.  

 

 

--

11


 

  Jehovah hath sworn truth to David, He turneth not back from it: Of the fruit of thy body, I set on the throne for thee.  

 

 

--

12


 

  If thy sons keep My covenant, And My testimonies that I teach them, Their sons also for ever and ever, Do sit on the throne for thee.  

 

 

--

13


 

  For Jehovah hath fixed on Zion, He hath desired [it] for a seat to Himself,  

 

 

--

14


 

  This [is] My rest for ever and ever, Here do I sit, for I have desired it.  

 

 

--

15


 

  Her provision I greatly bless, Her needy ones I satisfy [with] bread,  

 

 

--

16


 

  And her priests I clothe [with] salvation, And her pious ones do sing aloud.  

 

 

--

17


 

  There I cause to spring up a horn for David, I have arranged a lamp for Mine anointed.  

 

 

--

18


 

  His enemies I do clothe [with] shame, And upon him doth his crown flourish!  

 

 

--
