The Book of Psalms, 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.
