PSALM 132
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1David, and his afflictions all,
Lord, do thou think upon;
2How unto God he sware,
and vow'd to Jacob's mighty One.
3I will not come within my house,
nor rest in bed at all;
4Nor shall mine eyes take any sleep,
nor eyelids slumber shall;
5Till for the Lord a place I find,
where he may make abode;
A place of habitation
for Jacob's mighty God.
6Lo, at the place of Ephratah
of it we understood;
And we did find it in the fields,
and city of the wood.
7We'll go into his tabernacles,
and at his footstool bow.
8Arise, O Lord, into thy rest,
th' ark of thy strength, and thou.
9O let thy priests be clothed, Lord,
with truth and righteousness;
And let all those that are thy saints
shout loud for joyfulness.
10For thine own servant David's sake,
do not deny thy grace;
Nor of thine own anointed one
turn thou away the face.
11The Lord in truth to David sware,
he will not turn from it,
I of thy body's fruit will make
upon thy throne to sit.
12My cov'nant if thy sons will keep,
and laws to them made known,
Their children then shall also sit
for ever on thy throne.
13For God of Sion hath made choice;
there he desires to dwell.
14This is my rest, here still I'll stay;
for I do like it well.
15Her food I'll greatly bless; her poor
with bread will satisfy.
16Her priests I'll clothe with health; her saints
shall shout forth joyfully.
17And there will I make David's horn
to bud forth pleasantly:
For him that mine anointed is
a lamp ordain'd have I.
18As with a garment I will clothe
with shame his en'mies all:
But yet the crown that he doth wear
upon him flourish shall.

Psalm 132
Prayer for the Lord’s Blessing upon the Sanctuary.
A Song of Ascents.
1Remember, Lord, in David’s behalf,
All his affliction;
2How he swore to the Lord
And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob,
3“I certainly will not #132:3 Lit come into the tabernacle ofenter my house,
Nor #132:3 Lit go up into the couch oflie on my bed;
4I will not give sleep to my eyes
Or slumber to my eyelids,
5Until I find a place for the Lord,
# 132:5 Lit Dwelling places A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
6¶Behold, we heard about it in Ephrathah,
We found it in the field of #132:6 Or the woodJaar.
7Let’s go into His #132:7 Lit dwelling placesdwelling place;
Let’s worship at His footstool.
8Arise, Lord, to Your resting place,
You and the ark of Your strength.
9May Your priests be clothed with righteousness,
And may Your godly ones sing for joy.
10¶For the sake of Your servant David,
Do not turn away the face of Your anointed.
11The Lord has sworn to David
A truth from which He will not turn back:
“I will set upon your throne one from the fruit of your body.
12“If your sons will keep My covenant
And My testimony which I will teach them,
Their sons also will sit upon your throne forever.”
13¶For the Lord has chosen Zion;
He has desired it as His dwelling place.
14“This is My resting place forever;
Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.
15“I will abundantly bless her food;
I will satisfy her needy with bread.
16“I will also clothe her priests with salvation,
And her godly ones will sing aloud for joy.
17“I will make the horn of David spring forth there;
I have prepared a lamp for My anointed.
18“I will clothe his enemies with shame,
But upon himself his crown will gleam.”
