Psalms 132

1Lord, remember David, and all his afflictions:

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

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

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:

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

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

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

4(not in this translation)

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

5(not in this translation)

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

6(not in this translation)

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

7(not in this translation)

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

8(not in this translation)

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

9(not in this translation)

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

10(not in this translation)

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

11(not in this translation)

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

12(not in this translation)

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

13(not in this translation)

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

14(not in this translation)

15I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.

15(not in this translation)

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

16(not in this translation)

17There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.

17(not in this translation)

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