Psalms 132

1 A Song of Degrees. Lord, remember David, and all his meekness:

2 how he sware to the Lord, [and] vowed to the God of Jacob, [saying],

3 I will not go into the tabernacle of my house; I will not go up to the couch of my bed;

4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, nor slumber to mine eyelids, nor rest to my temples,

5 until I find a place for the Lord, a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.

6 Behold, we heard of it in Ephratha; we found it in the fields of the wood.

7 Let us enter into his tabernacles: let us worship at the place where his feet stood.

8 Arise, O Lord, into your rest; you, and the ark of your holiness.

9 Your priests shall clothe themselves with righteousness; and your saints shall exult.

10 For the sake of your servant David turn not away the face of your anointed.

11 The Lord sware [in] truth to David, and he will not annul it, [saying], Of the fruit of your body will I set [a king] upon your throne.

12 If your children will deep my covenant, and these my testimonies which I shall teach them, their children also shall sit upon your throne for ever.

13 For the Lord has elected Sion, he has chosen her for a habitation for himself, [saying],

14 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have chosen it.

15 I will surely bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.

16 I will clothe her priests with salvation; and her saints shall greatly exult.

17 There will I cause to spring up a horn to David: I have prepared a lamp for mine anointed.

18 His enemies will I clothe with a shame; but upon himself shall my holiness flourish.
