Chapter 132

  A Song of degrees. LORD, remember David, [and] all his afflictions:  

-

  How he sware unto the LORD, [and] vowed unto the mighty [God] of Jacob;  

-

  Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;  

-

  I will not give sleep to mine eyes, [or] slumber to mine eyelids,  

-

  Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty [God] of Jacob.  

-

  Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.  

-

  We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.  

-

  Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.  

-

  Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.  

-

  For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.  

-

  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.  

-

  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.  

-

  For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired [it] for his habitation.  

-

  This [is] my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.  

-

  I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.  

-

  I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.  

-

  There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.  

-

  His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
