Psalms 132 · Clearspring

A song of ascents.

The LORD Has Chosen Zion

¹A Song of degrees. Jehovah, remember for David all his affliction;+ ²How he swore unto Jehovah, vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob:+ ³I will not come into the tent of my house, I will not go up to the couch of my bed;+ ⁴I will not give sleep to mine eyes, slumber to mine eyelids,+ ⁵Until I find out a place for Jehovah, habitations for the Mighty One of Jacob....+ ⁶Behold, we heard of it at Ephratah, we found it in the fields of the wood.+ ⁷Let us go into his habitations, let us worship at his footstool.+ ⁸Arise, Jehovah, into thy rest, thou and the ark of thy strength.+ ⁹Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness, and let thy saints shout for joy.+ ¹⁰For thy servant David's sake, turn not away the face of thine anointed.+ ¹¹Jehovah hath sworn [in] truth unto David; he will not turn from it: Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne;+ ¹²If thy children keep my covenant, and my testimonies which I will teach them, their children also for evermore shall sit upon thy throne.+ ¹³For Jehovah hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his dwelling:+ ¹⁴This is my rest for ever; here will I dwell, for I have desired it.+ ¹⁵I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her needy ones with bread;+ ¹⁶And I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.+ ¹⁷There will I cause the horn of David to bud forth; I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.+ ¹⁸His enemies will I clothe with shame; but upon himself shall his crown flourish.+
