| Chapter 132 |
1 | {A Song of degrees.} Jehovah, remember for David all his affliction;
|
2 | How he swore unto Jehovah, vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob:
|
3 | I will not come into the tent of my house, I will not go up to the couch of my bed;
|
4 | I will not give sleep to mine eyes, slumber to mine eyelids,
|
5 | Until I find out a place for Jehovah, habitations for the Mighty One of Jacob. ...
|
6 | Behold, we heard of it at Ephratah, we found it in the fields of the wood.
|
7 | Let us go into his habitations, let us worship at his footstool.
|
8 | Arise, Jehovah, into thy rest, thou and the ark of thy strength.
|
9 | Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness, and let thy saints shout for joy.
|
10 | For thy servant David's sake, turn not away the face of thine anointed.
|
11 | Jehovah hath sworn [in] truth unto David; he will not turn from it: Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne;
|
12 | If thy children keep my covenant, and my testimonies which I will teach them, their children also for evermore shall sit upon thy throne.
|
13 | For Jehovah hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his dwelling:
|
14 | This is my rest for ever; here will I dwell, for I have desired it.
|
15 | I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her needy ones with bread;
|
16 | And I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
|
17 | There will I cause the horn of David to bud forth; I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.
|
18 | His enemies will I clothe with shame; but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
