Psalms — Chapter 132

1LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions:

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

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

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

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

6Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.

7We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.

8Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.

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

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

11The 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.

12If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.

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

14This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.

15I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.

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

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

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

1Jehovah, remember for David All his affliction;

2How he sware unto Jehovah, And vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob:

3Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, Nor go up into my bed;

4I will not give sleep to mine eyes, Or slumber to mine eyelids;

5Until I find out a place for Jehovah, A tabernacle for the Mighty One of Jacob.

6Lo, we heard of it in Ephrathah: We found it in the field of the wood.

7We will go into his tabernacles; We will worship at his footstool.

8Arise, O Jehovah, into thy resting-place; Thou, and the ark of thy strength.

9Let thy priest be clothed with righteousness; And let thy saints shout for joy.

10For thy servant David`s sake Turn not away the face of thine anointed.

11Jehovah hath sworn unto David in truth; He will not turn from it: Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.

12If thy children will keep my covenant And my testimony that I shall teach them, Their children also shall sit upon thy throne for evermore.

13For Jehovah hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it for his habitation.

14This is my resting-place for ever: Here will I dwell; for I have desired it.

15I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.

16Her priests also will I clothe with salvation; And her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

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

18His enemies will I clothe with shame; But upon himself shall his crown flourish. Psalm 133 A Song of Ascents; of David.

1A song of ascents. O Lord, for David’s sake remember all his strenuous effort

2and how he made a vow to the Lord, and swore an oath to the Powerful One of Jacob.

3He said, “I will not enter my own home, or get into my bed.

4I will not allow my eyes to sleep or my eyelids to slumber,

5until I find a place for the Lord, a fine dwelling place for the Powerful One of Jacob.”

6Look, we heard about it in Ephrathah; we found it in the territory of Jaar.

7Let us go to his dwelling place. Let us worship before his footstool.

8Ascend, O Lord, to your resting place, you and the ark of your strength.

9May your priests be clothed with integrity. May your loyal followers shout for joy.

10For the sake of David, your servant, do not reject your chosen king.

11The Lord made a reliable promise to David; he will not go back on his word. He said, “I will place one of your descendants on your throne.

12If your sons keep my covenant and the rules I teach them, their sons will also sit on your throne forever.”

13Certainly the Lord has chosen Zion; he decided to make it his home.

14He said, “This will be my resting place forever; I will live here, for I have chosen it.

15I will abundantly supply what she needs; I will give her poor all the food they need.

16I will protect her priests, and her godly people will shout exuberantly.

17There I will make David strong; I have determined that my chosen king’s dynasty will continue.

18I will humiliate his enemies, and his crown will shine.”

1Yahweh, remember David and all his affliction,

2how he swore to Yahweh, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

3“Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, nor go up into my bed;

4I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids;

5until I find out a place for Yahweh, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

6Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar:

7“We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at his footstool.

8Arise, Yahweh, into your resting place; you, and the ark of your strength.

9Let your priests be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!”

10For your servant David’s sake, don’t turn away the face of your anointed one.

11Yahweh has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: “I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.

12If your children will keep my covenant, my testimony that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forever more.”

13For Yahweh has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation.

14“This is my resting place forever. Here I will live, for I have desired it.

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

16Her priests I will also clothe with salvation. Her saints will shout aloud for joy.

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

18I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will be resplendent.”
