Psalms 132

1 [A Song of Ascents.] LORD, remember David and all his affliction,

A Song of Ascents. LORD, remember unto David all his affliction;

2 how he swore to the LORD, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

How he swore unto the LORD, and vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob:

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

'Surely I will not come into the tent of my house, nor go up into the bed that is spread for me;

4 I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids;

I will not give sleep to mine eyes, nor slumber to mine eyelids;

5 until I find out a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob."

Until I find out a place for the LORD, a dwelling-place for the Mighty One of Jacob.'

6 Look, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar:

Lo, we heard of it as being in Ephrath; we found it in the field of the wood.

7 "We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at his footstool.

Let us go into His dwelling-place; let us worship at His footstool.

8 Arise, LORD, to your resting place, you and the ark of your strength.

Arise, O LORD, unto Thy resting-place; Thou, and the ark of Thy strength.

9 Let your priest be clothed with righteousness. Let your faithful ones shout for joy."

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

10 For your servant David's sake, do not turn away the face of your anointed one.

For Thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of Thine anointed.

11 The LORD has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: "I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.

The LORD swore unto David in truth; He will not turn back from it: 'Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.

12 If your children will keep my covenant, my testimony that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forevermore."

If thy children keep My covenant and My testimony that I shall teach them, their children also for ever shall sit upon thy throne.'

13 For the LORD has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his dwelling.

For the LORD hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it for His habitation:

14 "This is my resting place forever. Here I will live, for I have desired it.

'This is My resting-place 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.

I will abundantly bless her provision; I will give her needy bread in plenty.

16 Her priests I will also clothe with salvation. Her faithful ones will shout aloud for joy.

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

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

There will I make a horn to shoot up unto David, there have I ordered a lamp for Mine anointed.

18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will be resplendent."

His enemies will I clothe with shame; but upon himself shall his crown shine.'
