Psalm 132 - NKJV Bible Online

Psalm 132

A Song of Ascents.

Lord, remember David

And all his afflictions;

How he swore to the Lord,

^aAnd vowed to ^bthe Mighty One of Jacob:

“Surely I will not go into the chamber of my house,

Or go up to the comfort of my bed;

I will ^anot give sleep to my eyes

Or slumber to my eyelids,

Until I ^afind a place for the Lord,

A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

Behold, we heard of it ^ain Ephrathah;

^bWe found it ^cin the fields of ¹the woods.

Let us go into His tabernacle;

^aLet us worship at His footstool.

^aArise, O Lord, to Your resting place,

You and ^bthe ark of Your strength.

Let Your priests ^abe clothed with righteousness,

And let Your saints shout for joy.

For Your servant David’s sake,

Do not turn away the face of Your ¹Anointed.

^aThe Lord has sworn in truth to David;

He will not turn from it:

“I will set upon your throne ^bthe ¹fruit of your body.

If your sons will keep My covenant

And My testimony which I shall teach them,

Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forevermore.”

^aFor the Lord has chosen Zion;

He has desired it for His ¹dwelling place:

“This^a is My resting place forever;

Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.

^aI will abundantly bless her ¹provision;

I will satisfy her poor with bread.

^aI will also clothe her priests with salvation,

^bAnd her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

^aThere I will make the ¹horn of David grow;

^bI will prepare a lamp for My ²Anointed.

His enemies I will ^aclothe with shame,

But upon Himself His crown shall flourish.”
