132:1 Remember, O LORD, on David's behalf, All his affliction; |
132:2 How he swore to the LORD And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob, |
132:3 "Surely I will not enter my house, Nor lie on my bed; |
132:4 I will not give sleep to my eyes Or slumber to my eyelids, |
132:5 Until I find a place for the LORD, A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob." |
132:6 Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah, We found it in the field of Jaar. |
132:7 Let us go into His dwelling place; Let us worship at His footstool. |
132:8 Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength. |
132:9 Let Your priests clothe themselves with righteousness, And let Your godly ones sing for joy. |
132:10 For the sake of David Your servant, Do not turn away the face of Your anointed. |
132:11 The LORD has sworn to David A truth from which He will not turn back: " Of the fruit of your body I will set upon your throne. |
132:12 "If your sons will keep My covenant And My testimony which I will teach them, Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forever." |
132:13 For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His habitation. |
132:14 "This has become 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 needy with bread. |
132:16 "Her priests also I will clothe with salvation, And her godly ones will sing aloud for joy. |
132:17 "There I will cause the horn of David to spring forth; I have prepared a lamp for Mine anointed. |
132:18 "His enemies I will clothe with shame, But upon himself his crown shall shine." |
