Psalms 132

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

A Song of degrees. Jehovah, remember for David all his affliction;

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

How he swore unto Jehovah, 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;

I will not come into the tent of my house, I will not go up to the couch of my bed;

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

I will not give sleep to mine eyes, 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 Jehovah, habitations for the Mighty One of Jacob. ...

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

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

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

Let us go into his habitations, let us worship at his footstool.

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

Arise, Jehovah, into thy rest, thou and the ark of thy strength.

9 Let your cohen 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.

Jehovah 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 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 testimonies which I will teach them, their children also for evermore shall sit upon thy throne.

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

For Jehovah hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his dwelling:

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

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.

I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her needy ones with bread;

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

And I will clothe her priests 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 cause the horn of David to bud forth; I have ordained 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 flourish.
