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.

Psalms 132
132
PSALM 132
1 The song of degrees. Lord, have thou mind on David; and of all his mildness.
2As he swore to the Lord; he made a vow to [the] God of Jacob.
3I shall not enter into the taber-nacle of mine house; I shall not ascend [or go up] into the bed of my resting.
4I shall not give sleep to mine eyes; and napping to mine eyelids.
5And rest to my temples, till I find a place to the Lord; a tabernacle to [the] God of Jacob.
6Lo! we heard that the ark of the testament is in Ephratah [or we have heard of it in Ephratah]; we found it in the fields of the wood.
7We shall enter into the tabernacle of him; we shall worship in the place, where his feet stood.
8Lord, rise thou into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thine hallowing.
9Thy priests be clothed with right-fulness [or rightwiseness]; and thy saints make full out joy.
10For David, thy servant; turn thou not away the face of thy christ.
11The Lord swore in truth to David, and he shall not make him [in] vain; Of the fruit of thy womb I shall set on thy seat.
12If thy sons shall keep my testament; and my witnessings, these which I shall teach them. And the sons of them till into the world; they shall set on thy seat.
13For the Lord chose Zion; he chose it into a dwelling to himself.
14This is my rest into the world of world; I shall dwell here, for I chose it.
15I blessing shall bless the widow of it; I shall [ful] fill with loaves the poor men of it.
16I shall clothe with health the priests thereof; and the holy men thereof shall make full out joy in full out joying or rejoicing.
17Thither I shall bring forth the horn of David; I [have] made ready a lantern to my christ.
18I shall clothe his enemies with shame; but mine hallowing shall flower out on him.
