| 1 | (Psalm 132 A Song of Ascents.)Jehovah, remember for David All his affliction; |
| 2 | How he sware unto Jehovah, And vowed unto the Mighty One 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 Jehovah, A tabernacle for the Mighty One of Jacob. |
| 6 | Lo, we heard of it in Ephrathah: We found it in the field of the wood. |
| 7 | We will go into his tabernacles; We will worship at his footstool. |
| 8 | Arise, O Jehovah, into thy resting-place; Thou, and the ark of thy strength. |
| 9 | Let thy priest 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 | Jehovah hath sworn unto David in truth; 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 also shall sit upon thy throne for evermore. |
| 13 | For Jehovah hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it for his habitation. |
| 14 | This is my resting-place 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 | Her priests also will I clothe 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. |
