Psalms 132

1 A Song of the Ascents. Remember, Jehovah, for David, all his afflictions.⋮

2 Who hath sworn to Jehovah. He hath vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:⋮

3 'If I enter into the tent of my house, If I go up on the couch of my bed,⋮

4 If I give sleep to mine eyes, To mine eyelids — slumber,⋮

5 Till I do find a place for Jehovah, Tabernacles for the Mighty One of Jacob.⋮

6 'Lo, we have heard it in Ephratah, We have found it in the fields of the forest.⋮

7 We come in to His tabernacles, We bow ourselves at His footstool.⋮

8 Arise, O Jehovah, to Thy rest, Thou, and the ark of Thy strength,⋮

9 Thy priests do put on righteousness, And Thy pious ones cry aloud.⋮

10 For the sake of David Thy servant, Turn not back the face of Thine anointed.⋮

11 Jehovah hath sworn truth to David, He turneth not back from it: Of the fruit of thy body, I set on the throne for thee.⋮

12 If thy sons keep My covenant, And My testimonies that I teach them, Their sons also for ever and ever, Do sit on the throne for thee.⋮

13 For Jehovah hath fixed on Zion, He hath desired it for a seat to Himself,⋮

14 This is My rest for ever and ever, Here do I sit, for I have desired it.⋮

15 Her provision I greatly bless, Her needy ones I satisfy with bread,⋮

16 And her priests I clothe with salvation, And her pious ones do sing aloud.⋮

17 There I cause to spring up a horn for David, I have arranged a lamp for Mine anointed.⋮

18 His enemies I do clothe with shame, And upon him doth his crown flourish!⋮
