Psalms 132

1Jehovah, remember for David All his affliction;

1Lord, remember David, and all his afflictions:

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

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

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;

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 Jehovah, A tabernacle for the Mighty One of Jacob.

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

6Lo, we heard of it in Ephrathah: We found it in the field of the wood.

8Arise, O Jehovah, into thy resting-place; Thou, and the ark of thy strength.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

13For Jehovah hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it for his habitation.

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

14This is my resting-place for ever: Here will I dwell; for I have desired it.

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

16Her priests also will I clothe with salvation; And her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

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

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

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