Psalm 132-135

New King James Version

⁶ Behold, we heard of it ^(E)in Ephrathah;
^(F)We found it ^(G)in the fields of ^[a]the woods.
⁷ Let us go into His tabernacle;
^(H)Let us worship at His footstool.
^8 (I)Arise, O Lord, to Your resting place,
You and ^(J)the ark of Your strength.
⁹ Let Your priests ^(K)be clothed with righteousness,
And let Your saints shout for joy.

¹⁰ For Your servant David’s sake,
Do not turn away the face of Your ^[b]Anointed.

^11 (L)The Lord has sworn in truth to David;
He will not turn from it:
“I will set upon your throne ^(M)the ^[c]fruit of your body.
¹² If your sons will keep My covenant
And My testimony which I shall teach them,
Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forevermore.”

^13 (N)For the Lord has chosen Zion;
He has desired it for His ^[d]dwelling place:
¹⁴ “This^(O) is My resting place forever;
Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.
^15 (P)I will abundantly bless her ^[e]provision;
I will satisfy her poor with bread.
^16 (Q)I will also clothe her priests with salvation,
^(R)And her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
^17 (S)There I will make the ^[f]horn of David grow;
^(T)I will prepare a lamp for My ^[g]Anointed.
¹⁸ His enemies I will ^(U)clothe with shame,
But upon Himself His crown shall flourish.”

² It is like the precious oil upon the head,
Running down on the beard,
The beard of Aaron,
Running down on the edge of his garments.
³ It is like the dew of ^(W)Hermon,
Descending upon the mountains of Zion;
For ^(X)there the Lord commanded the blessing—
Life forevermore.

³ The Lord who made heaven and earth
Bless you from Zion!

Praise the name of the Lord;
^(Z)Praise Him, O you servants of the Lord!
^2 (AA)You who stand in the house of the Lord,
In ^(AB)the courts of the house of our God,
³ Praise the Lord, for ^(AC)the Lord is good;
Sing praises to His name, ^(AD)for it is pleasant.
⁴ For ^(AE)the Lord has chosen Jacob for Himself,
Israel for His ^[h]special treasure.

⁵ For I know that ^(AF)the Lord is great,
And our Lord is above all gods.
^6 (AG)Whatever the Lord pleases He does,
In heaven and in earth,
In the seas and in all deep places.
^7 (AH)He causes the ^[i]vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth;
^(AI)He makes lightning for the rain;
He brings the wind out of His ^(AJ)treasuries.

^8 (AK)He ^[j]destroyed the firstborn of Egypt,
^[k]Both of man and beast.
^9 (AL)He sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, O Egypt,
^(AM)Upon Pharaoh and all his servants.
^10 (AN)He defeated many nations
And slew mighty kings—
¹¹ Sihon king of the Amorites,
Og king of Bashan,
And ^(AO)all the kingdoms of Canaan—
^12 (AP)And gave their land as a ^[l]heritage,
A heritage to Israel His people.

^13 (AQ)Your name, O Lord, endures forever,
Your fame, O Lord, throughout all generations.
^14 (AR)For the Lord will judge His people,
And He will have compassion on His servants.

^15 (AS)The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
The work of men’s hands.
¹⁶ They have mouths, but they do not speak;
Eyes they have, but they do not see;
¹⁷ They have ears, but they do not hear;
Nor is there any breath in their mouths.
¹⁸ Those who make them are like them;
So is everyone who trusts in them.

^19 (AT)Bless the Lord, O house of Israel!
Bless the Lord, O house of Aaron!
²⁰ Bless the Lord, O house of Levi!
You who fear the Lord, bless the Lord!
²¹ Blessed be the Lord ^(AU)out of Zion,
Who dwells in Jerusalem!

Praise the Lord!
