Psalms 132
1 A Song of Ascents. LORD, remember unto David all his affliction;
A Song of the Ascents. Remember, Jehovah, for David, all his afflictions.
2 How he swore unto the LORD, and vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob:
Who hath sworn to Jehovah. He hath vowed to the Mighty One 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;
'If I enter into the tent of my house, If I go up on the couch of my bed,
4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, nor slumber to mine eyelids;
If I give sleep to mine eyes, To mine eyelids — slumber,
5 Until I find out a place for the LORD, a dwelling-place for the Mighty One of Jacob.'
Till I do find a place for Jehovah, Tabernacles for the Mighty One of Jacob.
6 Lo, we heard of it as being in Ephrath; we found it in the field of the wood.
'Lo, we have heard it in Ephratah, We have found it in the fields of the forest.
7 Let us go into His dwelling-place; let us worship at His footstool.
We come in to His tabernacles, We bow ourselves at His footstool.
8 Arise, O LORD, unto Thy resting-place; Thou, and the ark of Thy strength.
Arise, O Jehovah, to Thy rest, Thou, and the ark of Thy strength,
9 Let Thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let Thy saints shout for joy.
Thy priests do put on righteousness, And Thy pious ones cry aloud.
10 For Thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of Thine anointed.
For the sake of David Thy servant, Turn not back the face of Thine 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.
Jehovah hath sworn truth to David, He turneth not back from it: Of the fruit of thy body, I set on the throne for thee.
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 thy sons keep My covenant, And My testimonies that I teach them, Their sons also for ever and ever, Do sit on the throne for thee.
13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it for His habitation:
For Jehovah hath fixed on Zion, He hath desired [it] for a seat to Himself,
14 'This is My resting-place for ever; here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
This [is] My rest for ever and ever, Here do I sit, for I have desired it.
15 I will abundantly bless her provision; I will give her needy bread in plenty.
Her provision I greatly bless, Her needy ones I satisfy [with] bread,
16 Her priests also will I clothe with salvation; and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
And her priests I clothe [with] salvation, And her pious ones do sing aloud.
17 There will I make a horn to shoot up unto David, there have I ordered a lamp for Mine anointed.
There I cause to spring up a horn for David, I have arranged a lamp for Mine anointed.
18 His enemies will I clothe with shame; but upon himself shall his crown shine.'
His enemies I do clothe [with] shame, And upon him doth his crown flourish!
