Psalms Chapter 132

The Dwelling Place For the LORD
1   LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions:
2   How he swore 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 my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids,
5   Until I find out a place for the LORD, a habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.
6   Lo, we heard of it at Ephrathah: we found it in the fields of the woods.
7   We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.
8   Arise, O LORD, into your rest; you, and the ark of your strength.
9   Let your priests be clothed with righteousness; and let your holy ones shout for joy.
10  For  your  servant  David's  sake  turn  not away the face of your anointed.
11  The LORD has sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of your body will I set upon your throne.
12  If your children will keep my covenant and my  testimony  that  I  shall  teach  them,  their children shall also sit upon your throne forevermore.
13  For the LORD has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his habitation.
14  This is my rest forever: 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 holy ones shall shout aloud for joy.
17  There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.
18  His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
