Psalms 132

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:

1 Jehovah, remember for David all his affliction;

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:

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

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.

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

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

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