| |
| | Psa 132:1 | O LORD, remember David and all the hardships he endured.
| |
| | Psa 132:2 | He swore an oath to the LORD and made a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:
| |
| | Psa 132:3 | "I will not enter my house or go to my bed--
| |
| | Psa 132:4 | I will allow no sleep to my eyes, no slumber to my eyelids,
| |
| | Psa 132:5 | till I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob."
| |
| | Psa 132:6 | We heard it in Ephrathah, we came upon it in the fields of Jaar :
| |
| | Psa 132:7 | "Let us go to his dwelling place; let us worship at his footstool--
| |
| | Psa 132:8 | arise, O LORD, and come to your resting place, you and the ark of your might.
| |
| | Psa 132:9 | May your priests be clothed with righteousness; may your saints sing for joy."
| |
| | Psa 132:10 | For the sake of David your servant, do not reject your anointed one.
| |
| | Psa 132:11 | The LORD swore an oath to David, a sure oath that he will not revoke: "One of your own descendants I will place on your throne--
| |
| | Psa 132:12 | if your sons keep my covenant and the statutes I teach them, then their sons will sit on your throne for ever and ever."
| |
| | Psa 132:13 | For the LORD has chosen Zion, he has desired it for his dwelling:
| |
| | Psa 132:14 | "This is my resting place for ever and ever; here I will sit enthroned, for I have desired it--
| |
| | Psa 132:15 | I will bless her with abundant provisions; her poor will I satisfy with food.
| |
| | Psa 132:16 | I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints will ever sing for joy.
| |
| | Psa 132:17 | "Here I will make a horn grow for David and set up a lamp for my anointed one.
| |
| | Psa 132:18 | I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown on his head will be resplendent."
