Psalms 132

  1. 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.
