Psalms 132

1A Song of Degrees. Lord, remember David, and all his meekness:

2how he sware to the Lord, [and] vowed to the God of Jacob, [saying],

3I will not go into the tabernacle of my house; I will not go up to the couch of my bed;

4I will not give sleep to mine eyes, nor slumber to mine eyelids, nor rest to my temples,

5until I find a place for the Lord, a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.

6Behold, we heard of it in Ephratha; we found it in the fields of the wood.

7Let us enter into his tabernacles: let us worship at the place where his feet stood.

8Arise, O Lord, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thine holiness.

9Thy priests shall clothe themselves with righteousness; and thy saints shall exult.

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

11The Lord sware [in] truth to David, and he will not annul it, [saying], Of the fruit of thy body will I set [a king] upon thy throne.

12If thy children will keep my covenant, and these my testimonies which I shall teach them, their children also shall sit upon thy throne for ever.

13For the Lord has elected Sion, he has chosen her for a habitation for himself, [saying],

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

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

16I will clothe her priests with salvation; and her saints shall greatly exult.

17There will I cause to spring up a horn to David: I have prepared a lamp for mine anointed.

18His enemies will I clothe with shame; but upon himself shall my holiness flourish.
