Psalms 132

1 Lord, give thought to David, and to all his troubles;

1A gradual canticle of David. Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity:

1 Jehovah, remember for David all his affliction;

1A Song of the Ascents. Remember, Jehovah, for David, all his afflictions.

2How he made an oath to the Lord, and gave his word to the great God of Jacob, saying,

2Like the precious ointment on the head, that ran down upon the beard, the beard of Aaron, Which ran down to the skirt of his garment:

2 How he swore unto Jehovah, vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob:

2Who hath sworn to Jehovah. He hath vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

3Truly, I will not come into my house, or go to my bed,

3As the dew of Hermon, which descendeth upon mount Sion. For there the Lord hath commanded blessing, and life for evermore.

3 I will not come into the tent of my house, I will not go up to the couch of my bed;

3`If I enter into the tent of my house, If I go up on the couch of my bed,

4I will not give sleep to my eyes, or rest to my eyeballs,

4(not in this translation)

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

4If I give sleep to mine eyes, To mine eyelids--slumber,

5Till I have got a place for the Lord, a resting-place for the great God of Jacob.

5(not in this translation)

5 Until I find out a place for Jehovah, habitations for the Mighty One of Jacob. ...

5Till I do find a place for Jehovah, Tabernacles for the Mighty One of Jacob.

6We had news of it at Ephrathah: we came to it in the fields of the wood.

7(not in this translation)

7 Let us go into his habitations, let us worship at his footstool.

7We come in to His tabernacles, We bow ourselves at His footstool.

8Come back, O Lord, to your resting-place; you and the ark of your strength.

13For the Lord's heart is on Zion, desiring it for his resting-place.
