Psalms 132

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 A song of ascents. LORD, remember David and all his anxious care;	1 LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions:
2 How he swore an oath to the LORD, vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:	2 How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;
3 "I will not enter the house where I live, nor lie on the couch where I sleep;	3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;
4 I will give my eyes no sleep, my eyelids no rest,	4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,
5 Till I find a home for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob."	5 Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.
6 "We have heard of it in Ephrathah; we have found it in the fields of Jaar.	6 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.
7 Let us enter God's dwelling; let us worship at God's footstool."	7 We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.
8 "Arise, LORD, come to your resting place, you and your majestic ark.	8 Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.
9 Your priests will be clothed with justice; your faithful will shout for joy."	9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.
10 For the sake of David your servant, do not reject your anointed.	10 For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.
11 The LORD swore an oath to David, a pledge never to be broken: "Your own offspring I will set upon your throne.	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 your sons observe my covenant, the laws I shall teach them, Their sons, in turn, shall sit forever on your 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 Yes, the LORD has chosen Zion, desired it for a dwelling:	13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.
14 "This is my resting place forever; here I will dwell, for I desire it.	14 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
15 I will bless Zion with meat; its poor I will fill with bread.	15 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16 I will clothe its priests with blessing; its faithful shall shout for joy.	16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
17 There I will make a horn sprout for David's line; I will set a lamp for my anointed.	17 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.
18 His foes I will clothe with shame, but on him my crown shall gleam."	18 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
