Psalms 132

NEW JERUSALEM	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 [Song of Ascents] Yahweh, remember David and al the hardships he endured,	1 LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions:
2 the oath he swore to Yahweh, his vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:	2 How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;
3 'I wil not enter tent or house, wil not climb into bed,	3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;
4 will not al ow myself to sleep, not even to close my eyes,	4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,
5 til I have found a place for Yahweh, a dwel ing 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 Listen, we heard of it in Ephrathah, we found it at Forest-Fields.	6 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.
7 Let us go into his dwel ing-place, and worship at his footstool.	7 We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.
8 Go up, Yahweh, to your resting-place, you and the ark of your strength.	8 Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.
9 Your priests are robed in saving justice, your faithful are shouting for joy.	9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.
10 For the sake of your servant David, do not reject your anointed.	10 For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.
11 Yahweh has sworn to David, and wil always remain true to his word, 'I promise that I wil set a sonof yours 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 and the instructions I have taught them, their sons too forevermore wil occupy 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 For Yahweh has chosen Zion, he has desired it as a home.	13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.
14 'Here shal I rest for evermore, here shal I make my home as I have wished.	14 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
15 'I shal generously bless her produce, give her needy their fil of food,	15 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16 I shal clothe her priests with salvation, and her faithful wil sing aloud for joy.	16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
17 'There I shal raise up a line of descendants for David, light 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 I shal clothe his enemies with shame, while his own crown shall flourish.'	18 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
