Psalm 132

*A Song of degrees.

1  *Lord, aRemember David,

And all his afflictions:

2  How he sware unto the Lord,

And aavowed unto bthe mighty God of Jacob;

3  Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house,

Nor go up into my bed;

4  I will not cgive sleep to mine eyes,

Or cslumber to mine eyelids,

5  Until dI find out a place for the Lord,

†An habitation for bthe mighty God of Jacob.

6  Lo, we heard of eit at fEphratah:

gWe found it in the fields hof the wood.

7  We will go into his itabernacles:

jWe will worship at his kfootstool.

8  lArise, O Lord, into mthy rest;

Thou, and the enark of thy strength.

9  oLet thy priests be clothed with righteousness;

And let thy psaints shout for joy.

10  For thy servant David’s sake

qTurn not away the face of rthine anointed.

11  sThe Lord thath sworn in truth unto David;

tHe will not turn from it;

uOf the fruit of †thy body will I set upon thy throne.

12  vIf thy children will keep my covenant

And my testimony that I shall teach them,

Their children shall also wsit upon thy throne for evermore.

13  xFor the Lord hath chosen Zion;

He hath desired it for his habitation.

14  This is ymy rest for ever:

Here zwill I dwell; for I have desired it.

15  aI will ||abundantly bless her provision:

I bwill satisfy her poor with bread.

16  cI will also clothe her priests with salvation:

And her desaints shall shout aloud for joy.

17  There will I fmake the horn of David to bud:

I have ordained ga ||lamp for hmine anointed.

18  His enemies will I iclothe with shame:

But upon himself shall his crown flourish.
