Psalms 132

1Lord, remember David, and all his afflictions:

1Jehovah, remember for David All his affliction;

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;

2How he sware unto Jehovah, And vowed unto the Mighty One 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;

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,

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

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

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