132:1 A Song of degrees. LORD, remember David [and] all his
afflictions;
132:2 How he swore to the LORD, [and] vowed to 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 my eyes, [or] slumber to my
eyelids,
132:5 Until I find a place for the LORD, a 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
thy anointed.
132:11 The LORD hath sworn [in] truth to 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 also shall sit upon thy
throne for ever.
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 my anointed.
132:18 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself
shall his crown flourish.
