Noyes - Psalms - 132

132:1  O LORD! remember David, And all his affliction!

132:2  How he sware to Jehovah, And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

132:3  "I will not go into my house, Nor lie down on my bed,

132:4  I will not give sleep to my eyes, Nor slumber to my eyelids,

132:5  Until I find a place for Jehovah, A habitation for the Mighty One of Jacob."

132:6  Behold, we heard of it at Ephratah; We found it in the fields of the forest.

132:7  Let us go into his habitation; Let us 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 thy holy ones shout for joy!

132:10  For the sake of thy servant David, Reject not the prayer of thine anointed!

132:11  Jehovah hath sworn in truth unto David, And he will not depart from it: "Of the fruit of thy body will I place upon the throne for thee.

132:12  If thy children keep my covenant, And my statutes, which I teach them, Their children also throughout all ages Shall sit upon thy throne."

132:13  For Jehovah hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it as his dwelling-place.

132:14  "This is my resting-place for ever; Here will I dwell, for I have chosen 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 holy ones shall shout aloud for joy.

132:17  There will I cause to spring forth a horn for David; I have prepared a light for mine anointed.

132:18  His enemies will I clothe with shame, And the crown shall glitter upon his head."
