Psalms

A horn buds in Zion

132:1-18

A Song of degrees

¹ Lord, remember David, and all his afflictions:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

Remember David. [1]

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

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

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

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

God chose to live in Zion forever. [2]

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

He'll make David's horn bud there.

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

And clothe David's enemies with shame.

Remember David (v.1)
Forget David. He was an asshole.
For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation. (v.13)
Where does God dwell?
