| 132:1 |
<A Song of the going up.> Lord, give thought to David, and to all his troubles; |
| 132:2 |
How he made an oath to the Lord, and gave his word to the great God of Jacob, saying, |
| 132:3 |
Truly, I will not come into my house, or go to my bed, |
| 132:4 |
I will not give sleep to my eyes, or rest to my eyeballs, |
| 132:5 |
Till I have got a place for the Lord, a resting-place for the great God of Jacob. |
| 132:6 |
We had news of it at Ephrathah: we came to it in the fields of the wood. |
| 132:7 |
Let us go into his tent; let us give worship at his feet. |
| 132:8 |
Come back, O Lord, to your resting-place; you and the ark of your strength. |
| 132:9 |
Let your priests be clothed with righteousness; and let your saints give cries of joy. |
| 132:10 |
Because of your servant David, do not give up your king. |
| 132:11 |
The Lord gave a true oath to David, which he will not take back, saying, I will give your kingdom to the fruit of your body. |
| 132:12 |
If your children keep my word, and the teachings which I will give them, their children will be rulers of your kingdom for ever. |
| 132:13 |
For the Lord's heart is on Zion, desiring it for his resting-place. |
| 132:14 |
This is my rest for ever: here will I ever be; for this is my desire. |
| 132:15 |
My blessing will be on her food; and her poor will be full of bread. |
| 132:16 |
Her priests will be clothed with salvation; and her saints will give cries of joy. |
| 132:17 |
There I will make the horn of David fertile: I have made ready a light for my king. |
| 132:18 |
His haters will be clothed with shame; but I will make his crown shining. |
