Psalms 132

1 A Song of degrees. LORD, remember David, [and] all his afflictions:

Jehovah, remember for David all his affliction,

2 How he sware unto the LORD, [and] vowed unto the mighty [God] of Jacob;

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

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

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, [or] slumber to mine eyelids,

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

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

until I find out a place for Jehovah, a tabernacle for the Mighty One of Jacob.

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

Lo, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of the wood.

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

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

8 Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.

Arise, O Jehovah, into thy resting-place, thou, and the ark of thy strength.

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

Let thy priest be clothed with righteousness, and let thy sanctified shout for joy.

10 For thy servant David’s sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.

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

11 The LORD hath sworn [in] truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.

Jehovah has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: From the fruit of thy body I will set upon thy throne.

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

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

13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired [it] for his habitation.

For Jehovah has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation.

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

This is my resting place forever. Here I will 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 poor with bread.

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

I will also clothe her priests with salvation, and her sanctified shall shout aloud for joy.

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

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

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

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