Psalm 132

0 ¹A Song of degrees.

1 Lord, ¹remember David, and all his ²afflictions:

2 How ¹he sware unto the Lord, and vowed unto ²the mighty God of Jacob;

3 Surely I ¹will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;

4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,

5 Until I find out ¹a place for the Lord, ^aan habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.

6 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.

7 We ¹will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.

8 ¹Arise, O Lord, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.

9 ¹Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.

10 For ¹thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of ²thine anointed.

11 ¹The Lord hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; ²Of the fruit of ^athy body will I set upon thy throne.

12 If ¹thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.

13 For ¹the Lord hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.

14 ¹This is my rest for ever: here ²will I dwell; for I have desired it.

15 I ¹will ^aabundantly bless her provision: ²I will satisfy her poor with bread.

16 I ¹will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

17 There ¹will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a ^alamp for ²mine anointed.

18 His ¹enemies will I clothe with shame: but ²upon himself shall his crown flourish.
