Psalm 132
Psalm 132:1-18
The Lord Has Chosen Zion
(1) A Song of degrees. 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.
