132:2 How he swore to the LORD; and he vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob: |
132:3 "Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed; |
132:4 I will not give sleep to my eyes, nor slumber to my eyelids, |
132:5 Until I find out a place for the LORD, a habitation for the Mighty One of Jacob." |
132:6 Lo, we heard of it at Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of the woods. |
132:7 Let us go unto His tabernacle; let us worship at His footstool. |
132:8 Arise, O LORD, into Your rest; You and the ark of Your strength. |
132:9 Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness, and let Your saints shout for joy. |
132:10 For Your servant David's sake, turn not away the face of Your anointed. |
132:11 The LORD has sworn to David in truth; He will not turn from it: "Of the fruit of your body will I set upon the throne for you. |
132:12 If your children keep My covenant and My testimonies which I shall teach them, their sons shall also sit upon your throne forever." |
132:13 The LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His habitation: |
132:14 "This is My resting place forever; here I will dwell, for I have desired it. |
132:15 I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her poor with bread. |
132:16 I also will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints shall shout aloud for joy. |
132:17 There I will make the horn of David to bud; I have prepared a lamp for My anointed. |
132:18 I will clothe his enemies with shame; upon himself shall his crown shine." |
