Psalms 133

Douai-Rheims	New American Bible
¹ O Lord, remember David, and all his meekness.	¹ A song of ascents. Of David. How good it is, how pleasant, where the people dwell as one!
² How he swore to the Lord, he vowed a vow to the God of Jacob:	² Like precious ointment on the head, running down upon the beard, Upon the beard of Aaron, upon the collar of his robe.
³ If I shall enter into the tabernacle of my house: if I shall go up into the bed wherein I lie:	³ Like dew of Hermon coming down upon the mountains of Zion. There the LORD has lavished blessings, life for evermore!
⁴ If I shall give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids,
⁵ Or rest to my temples: until I find out a place for the Lord, a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
⁶ Behold we have heard of it in Ephrata: we have found it in the fields of the wood.
⁷ We will go into his tabernacle: We will adore in the place where his feet stood.
⁸ Arise, O Lord, into thy resting place: thou and the ark, which thou hast sanctified.
⁹ Let thy priests be clothed with justice: and let thy saints rejoice.
¹⁰ For thy servant David's sake, turn not away the face of thy anointed.
¹¹ The Lord hath sworn truth to David, and he will not make it void: of the fruit of thy womb I will set upon thy throne.
¹² If thy children will keep thy covenant, and these my testimonies which I shall teach them: Their children also for evermore shall sit upon thy throne.
¹³ For the Lord hath chosen Sion: he hath chosen it for his dwelling.
¹⁴ This is my rest for ever and ever: here will I dwell, for I have chosen it.
¹⁵ Blessing, I will bless her widow: I will satisfy her poor with bread.
¹⁶ I will clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall rejoice with exceeding great joy.
¹⁷ There will I bring forth a horn to David: I have prepared a lamp for my anointed.
¹⁸ His enemies I will clothe with confusion: but upon him will my sanctification flourish.
