Psalms 132 · Clearspring

A song of ascents.

The LORD Has Chosen Zion

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