psalms 132

1 - The LORD, remember David and all his affliction,

2 - how he swore to The LORD,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;

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

5 - until I find out a place for The LORD,a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob."

6 - Behold, 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.

8 - Arise, The LORD, into your resting place;you, and the ark of your strength.

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

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

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

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

13 - For the LORD 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.

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

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

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

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