Psalms 132

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

Lord, remember David, and all his afflictions:

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

How he swore unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;

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

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, nor slumber to mine eyelids;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Arise, O LORD, into your rest; you, and the ark of your strength.

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

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

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

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

11 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.

The LORD has sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of your body will I set upon your throne.

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

If your children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon your throne for evermore.

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

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

14 'This is My resting-place for ever; here will I dwell; 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 give her needy bread in plenty.

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

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

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

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

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 shine.'

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