“1 A Song of degrees. LORD, remember David, [and] all his afflictions:
2 How he sware unto the LORD, [and] vowed unto the mighty [God] of
Jacob; 3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go
up into my bed; 4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, [or] slumber to
mine eyelids, 5 Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for
the mighty [God] of Jacob. 6 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it
in the fields of the wood. 7 We will go into his tabernacles: we will
worship at his footstool. 8 Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the
ark of thy strength. 9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness;
and let thy saints shout for joy. 10 For thy servant David’s sake turn
not away the face of thine 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. 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 the
LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired [it] for his habitation. 14 This
[is] my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it. 15 I
will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall
shout aloud for joy. 17 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I
have ordained a lamp for mine anointed. 18 His enemies will I clothe
with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.” (Psalm 132:1-18
AV)
