Psalms 132

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions:	1 A song of ascents. LORD, remember David and all his anxious care;
2 How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;	2 How he swore an oath to the LORD, vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;	3 "I will not enter the house where I live, nor lie on the couch where I sleep;
4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,	4 I will give my eyes no sleep, my eyelids no rest,
5 Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.	5 Till I find a home for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob."
6 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.	6 "We have heard of it in Ephrathah; we have found it in the fields of Jaar.
7 We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.	7 Let us enter God's dwelling; let us worship at God's footstool."
8 Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.	8 "Arise, LORD, come to your resting place, you and your majestic ark.
9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.	9 Your priests will be clothed with justice; your faithful will shout for joy."
10 For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.	10 For the sake of David your servant, do not reject your anointed.
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.	11 The LORD swore an oath to David, a pledge never to be broken: "Your own offspring I will set upon 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.	12 If your sons observe my covenant, the laws I shall teach them, Their sons, in turn, shall sit forever on your throne."
13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.	13 Yes, the LORD has chosen Zion, desired it for a dwelling:
14 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.	14 "This is my resting place forever; here I will dwell, for I desire it.
15 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.	15 I will bless Zion with meat; its poor I will fill with bread.
16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.	16 I will clothe its priests with blessing; its faithful shall shout for joy.
17 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.	17 There I will make a horn sprout for David's line; I will set a lamp for my anointed.
18 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.	18 His foes I will clothe with shame, but on him my crown shall gleam."
