132:1 A Song of the Ascents. Remember, Jehovah, for David, all his afflictions. 132:2 Who hath sworn to Jehovah. He hath vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob: 132:3 `If I enter into the tent of my house, If I go up on the couch of my bed, 132:4 If I give sleep to mine eyes, To mine eyelids -- slumber, 132:5 Till I do find a place for Jehovah, Tabernacles for the Mighty One of Jacob. 132:6 `Lo, we have heard it in Ephratah, We have found it in the fields of the forest. 132:7 We come in to His tabernacles, We bow ourselves at His footstool. 132:8 Arise, O Jehovah, to Thy rest, Thou, and the ark of Thy strength, 132:9 Thy priests do put on righteousness, And Thy pious ones cry aloud. 132:10 For the sake of David Thy servant, Turn not back the face of Thine anointed. 132:11 Jehovah hath sworn truth to David, He turneth not back from it: Of the fruit of thy body, I set on the throne for thee. 132:12 If thy sons keep My covenant, And My testimonies that I teach them, Their sons also for ever and ever, Do sit on the throne for thee. 132:13 For Jehovah hath fixed on Zion, He hath desired [it] for a seat to Himself, 132:14 This [is] My rest for ever and ever, Here do I sit, for I have desired it. 132:15 Her provision I greatly bless, Her needy ones I satisfy [with] bread, 132:16 And her priests I clothe [with] salvation, And her pious ones do sing aloud. 132:17 There I cause to spring up a horn for David, I have arranged a lamp for Mine anointed. 132:18 His enemies I do clothe [with] shame, And upon him doth his crown flourish!
