Chapter 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. |
