Psalm 132
|
|
| 132:1
Lord, remember David, and all his afflictions: |
 (132:1-18) "Lord, remember David, and all his afflictions...."
Forget David. He was an asshole.
|
| 132:2
How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob; |
|
| 132:3
Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my
bed; |
|
| 132:4
I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids, |
|
| 132:5
Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of
Jacob. |
|
| 132:6
Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood. |
|
| 132:7
We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool. |
|
| 132:8
Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength. |
|
| 132:9
Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout
for joy. |
|
| 132:10
For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine anointed. |
|
| 132:11
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. |
|
| 132:12
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. |
|
| 132:13
For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation. |
|
| 132:14
This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it. |
|
| 132:15
I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread. |
|
| 132:16
I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout
aloud for joy. |
|
| 132:17
There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for
mine anointed. |
|
| 132:18
His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown
flourish.
