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.
13 For the Lord hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.
14 This 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.
17 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.
18 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.

1A Song of degrees. Lord remember Dauid, and all his afflictions:

2How he sware vnto the Lord, and vowed vnto the mightie God of Iacob.

3Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house: nor goe vp into my bed.

4I will not giue sleepe to mine eyes: or slumber to mine eyelids,

5Untill I finde out a place for the Lord: an habitation for the mightie God of Iacob.

6Loe, wee heard of it at Ephrata: we found it in the fields of the wood.

7We will goe into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstoole.

8Arise, O Lord, into thy rest: thou, and the Arke of thy strength.

9Let thy Priestes be clothed with righteousnesse: and let thy saints shout for ioy.

10For thy seruant Dauids sake: turne not away the face of thine Anointed.

11The Lord hath sworne in trueth vnto Dauid, hee will not turne from it; of the fruit of thy body will I set vpon thy throne.

12If thy children will keepe my couenant and my testimonie, that I shall teach them; their children also shall sit vpon thy throne for euermore.

13For the Lord hath chosen Zion: he hath desired it for his habitation.

14This is my rest for euer: here will I dwell, for I haue desired it.

15I will abundantly blesse her prouision: I will satisfie her poore with bread.

16I will also clothe her priests with saluation: and her Saints shall shout aloud for ioy.

17There will I make the horne of Dauid to budde: I haue ordained a lampe for mine Anointed.

18His enemies will I clothe with shame: but vpon himselfe shall his crowne flourish.

1 A song of ascents. Remember, O LORD, for David all his hardships;

2 How he swore an oath to the LORD, vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

3 “I will not enter the house where I live,nor lie on the couch where I sleep;

4 I will give my eyes no sleep, my eyelids no rest,

5 Till I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

6 “We have heard of it in Ephrathah; we have found it in the fields of Jaar.

7 Let us enter his dwelling; let us worship at his footstool.”

8 “Arise, LORD, come to your resting place, you and your mighty ark.

9 Your priests will be clothed with justice; your devout will shout for joy.”

10 For the sake of David your servant, do not reject your anointed.

11 The LORD swore an oath to David in truth, he will never turn back from it:“Your own offspring I will set upon your throne.

12 If your sons observe my covenant, and my decrees I shall teach them, Their sons, in turn, shall sit forever on your throne.”

13 Yes, the LORD has chosen Zion, desired it for a dwelling:

14 “This is my resting place forever; here I will dwell, for I desire it.

15 I will bless Zion with provisions; its poor I will fill with bread.

16 I will clothe its priests with salvation; its devout shall shout for joy.

17 There I will make a horn sprout for David; I will set a lamp for my anointed.

18 His foes I will clothe with shame, but on him his crown shall shine.”

PSALM 132 RE-ITERATION OF GOD'S UNBREAKABLE PROMISE..

v 1-5 The people to ask God to remember His covenant with David and his urgent desire to build the temple.

 

 

 

v 6-10 These returnees from captivity remember the temporary abode of the ark and David’s desire to establish it at Zion, and they pray for the priests, Heb. 13:7,17.

 

 

 

v 11-18 Earlier promises to David are remembered. He had sworn with an oath that David’s throne would be forever, that Zion was the chosen center of worship and He would bless it, and that He would send the Messiah, v 17,18.
