Psalm 132

Revised Geneva Translation

132 LORD, remember David with all his affliction.

² Who swore to the LORD, vowed to the Mighty of Jacob,

³ “I will not enter into the tabernacle of my house, nor come upon my pallet (my bed),

⁴ “nor allow my eyes to sleep, nor my eyelids to slumber,

⁵ “until I find a place for the LORD, a habitation for the Mighty of Jacob.”

⁶ Lo, we heard of it in Ephrathah and found it in the fields of the forest.

⁷ We will enter into His Tabernacles and worship before His footstool.

⁸ Arise, O LORD, into Your rest, You and the Ark of Your strength.

⁹ Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness; and let Your saints rejoice.

¹⁰ For Your servant David’s sake, do not refuse the face of Your Anointed.

¹¹ The LORD has sworn to David in truth; and He will not shrink from it, saying, “From the fruit of your body will I set upon your throne.

¹² “If your sons keep My Covenant, and My testimonies, so that I shall teach them, their sons also shall sit upon your throne forever.”

¹³ For the LORD has chosen Zion and loved to dwell in it, saying,

¹⁴ “This is My rest, forever. Here will I dwell; for I have desired it.

¹⁵ “I will surely bless her provisions and will satisfy her poor with bread

¹⁶ “and will clothe her priests with salvation; and her saints shall shout for joy.

¹⁷ “There I will make the horn of David bud. I have ordained a Light for My Anointed.

¹⁸ “I will clothe His enemies with shame; but on Him His crown shall flourish.” A song of degrees, or Psalm, of Solomon
