Psalms 132

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;

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:

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;

4(not in this translation)

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

5(not in this translation)

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

6(not in this translation)

6 Behold, we heard of it at Ephratah, we found 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.

8(not in this translation)

8 Arise, Jehovah, into thy rest, thou and the ark of thy strength.

9(not in this translation)

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

10(not in this translation)

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

11(not in this translation)

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(not in this translation)

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(not in this translation)

13 For Jehovah hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his dwelling:

14(not in this translation)

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

15(not in this translation)

15 I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her needy ones with bread;

16(not in this translation)

16 And I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

17(not in this translation)

17 There will I cause the horn of David to bud forth; I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.

18(not in this translation)

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