Jubilee2000 - Psalms - 132

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

132:2  How he swore unto the LORD [and] vowed unto the mighty [God] of Jacob;

132:3  surely I will not come into the habitation 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 out a place for the LORD, a habitation for the mighty [God] of Jacob.

132:6  Behold, we heard of her in Ephratah; we found her in the fields of the wood.

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

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

132:9  Thy priests are clothed with righteousness, and thy merciful ones shout for joy.

132:10  For the love of thy servant David, do not turn away thy face from thine anointed.

132:11  The LORD has sworn truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body I will set upon thy throne.

132:12  If thy sons will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their sons shall also sit upon thy throne for ever.

132:13  For the LORD has chosen Zion; he has desired [her] for his habitation.

132:14  This [shall be] my rest for ever; here I will dwell; for I have desired her.

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

132:16  I will also clothe her priests with saving health, and her merciful ones 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 I will clothe with shame, but upon himself shall his crown blossom.:
