Psalms
Chapter 132King James Version
Berean Standard Bible
1LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions:
O LORD, remember on behalf of David all the hardships he endured,
2How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;
how he swore an oath to the LORD, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;
“I will not enter my house or get into my bed,
4I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,
I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,
5Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.
until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
6Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.
We heard that the ark was in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.
7We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.
Let us go to His dwelling place; let us worship at His footstool.
8Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.
Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength.
9Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.
May Your priests be clothed with righteousness, and Your saints shout for joy.
10For thy servant David’s sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.
For the sake of Your servant David, do not reject Your anointed one.
11The 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.
The LORD swore an oath to David, a promise He will not revoke: “One of your descendants I will place on your throne.
12If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.
If your sons keep My covenant and the testimony I will teach them, then their sons will also sit on your throne forever and ever.”
13For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.
For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His home:
14This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
“This is My resting place forever and ever; here I will dwell, for I have desired this home.
15I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.
I will bless her with abundant provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints will sing out in joy.
17There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.
There I will make a horn grow for David; I have prepared a lamp for My anointed one.
18His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown upon him will gleam.”
