Psalm 132:1-18
The LORD Has Chosen Zion

0 A Song of degrees.

0:

1 LORD, remember David, [and] all his afflictions:

1:

2 How he sware unto the LORD, [and] vowed unto the mighty [God] of Jacob;

2:

3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;

3:

4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, [or] slumber to mine eyelids,

4:

5 Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty [God] of Jacob.

5:

6 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.

6:

7 We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.

7:

8 Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.

8:

9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.

9:

10 For thy servant David’s sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.

10:

11 The LORD hath sworn [in] truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.

11:

12 If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.

12:

13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired [it] for his habitation.

13:

14 This [is] my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.

14:

15 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.

15:

16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

16:

17 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.

17:

18 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.

18:
