A Song of Degrees. 132:1 Lord, remember
David, and all his meekness:
132:2 how he sware to the Lord, [and] vowed to the God of Jacob, [saying],
132:3 I will not go into the tabernacle of my house; I will not go up to the
couch of my bed;
132:4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, nor slumber to mine eyelids, nor
rest to my temples,
132:5 until I find a place for the Lord, a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
132:6 Behold, we heard of it in Ephratha; we found it in the fields of the
wood.
132:7 Let us enter into his tabernacles: let us worship at the place where
his feet stood.
132:8 Arise, O Lord, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thine holiness.
132:9 Thy priests shall clothe themselves with righteousness; and thy saints
shall exult.
132:10 For the sake of thy servant David turn not away the face of thine
anointed.
132:11 The Lord sware [in] truth to David, and he will not annul it,
[saying], Of the fruit of thy body will I set [a king] upon thy throne.
132:12 If thy children will deep my covenant, and these my testimonies which
I shall teach them, their children also shall sit upon thy throne for ever.
132:13 For the Lord has elected Sion, he has chosen her for a habitation for
himself, [saying],
132:14 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have chosen it.
132:15 I will surely bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with
bread.
132:16 I will clothe her priests with salvation; and her saints shall
greatly exult.
132:17 There will I cause to spring up a horn to David: I have prepared a
lamp for mine anointed.
132:18 His enemies will I clothe with a shame; but upon himself shall my
holiness flourish. |
A Song of degrees. 132:1 Lord, remember
David, and all his afflictions:
132:2 How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God 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 mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,
132:5 Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty
God of Jacob.
132:6 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.
132:7 We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.
132:8 Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.
132:9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints
shout for joy.
132:10 For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine
anointed.
132:11 The 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.
132:12 If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall
teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.
132:13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.
132:14 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
132:15 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with
bread.
132:16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall
shout aloud for joy.
132:17 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp
for mine anointed.
132:18 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his
crown flourish. |
