Psalm 132
1 A
Song of Ascents. O Jehovah, remember David with all his afflictions; 2 how he
swore to Jehovah; he vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob, 3 If I will go into the
tent of my house, if I go up on the couch of my bed, 4 if I give sleep to my
eyes, slumber to my eyelids, 5 until I search out a place for Jehovah,
dwellings for the Mighty One of Jacob. 6 Lo, we have heard of it at Ephratah; we found it in the fields of the forest; 7 we
will enter into His tabernacles; we will worship at His footstool. 8 Arise, O
Jehovah, into Your rest; You, and the ark of Your strength. 9 Let Your priests
be clothed with righteousness, and let Your saints shout for joy. 10 For Your
servant David's sake do not turn away the face of Your anointed. 11 Jehovah has
sworn to David in truth; He will not turn from it; I will set one of the fruit
of your body on the throne for you. 12 If your sons will keep My covenant and
My testimonies which I will teach them, their sons shall also sit on the throne
for You forever. 13 Jehovah has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His
dwelling-place. 14 This is My rest till forever; I will dwell here; I have
desired it. 15 Blessing I will bless her poor with provisions; I will satisfy
her poor with food. 16 And I will clothe her priests with salvation; and her
saints shall surely shout. 17 I will make the horn of David to sprout; I have
arranged a lamp for My Anointed. 18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, but
His crown shall flourish upon him.
