Psalms

132:1  A Song of degrees. LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions:

132:2  How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;

132:3  Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;

132:4  I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,

132:5  Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.

132:6  Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.

132:7  We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.

132:8  Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.

132:9  Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.

132:10  For thy servant David’s sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.

132:11  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.

132:12  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.

132:13  For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.

132:14  This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.

132:15  I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.

132:16  I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

132:17  There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.

132:18  His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
