The Book of Psalms 132

Text size

1 LORD remember David and all his afflictions ⚑

2 How he sware unto the LORD and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob ⚑

3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house nor go up into my bed ⚑

4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes or slumber to mine eyelids ⚑

5 Until I find out a place for the LORD an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob ⚑

6 Lo we heard of it at Ephratah we found it in the fields of the wood ⚑

7 We will go into his tabernacles we will worship at his footstool ⚑

8 Arise O LORD into thy rest thou and the ark of thy strength ⚑

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

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

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 ⚑

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 ⚑

13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion he hath desired it for his habitation ⚑

14 This is my rest for ever here will I dwell for I have desired it ⚑

15 I will abundantly bless her provision I will satisfy her poor with bread ⚑

16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation and her saints shall shout aloud for joy ⚑

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

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