Psalms

132:1		<A Song of the going up.> Lord, give thought to David, and to all his troubles;
132:2		How he made an oath to the Lord, and gave his word to the great God of Jacob, saying,
132:3		Truly, I will not come into my house, or go to my bed,
132:4		I will not give sleep to my eyes, or rest to my eyeballs,
132:5		Till I have got a place for the Lord, a resting-place for the great God of Jacob.
132:6		We had news of it at Ephrathah: we came to it in the fields of the wood.
132:7		Let us go into his tent; let us give worship at his feet.
132:8		Come back, O Lord, to your resting-place; you and the ark of your strength.
132:9		Let your priests be clothed with righteousness; and let your saints give cries of joy.
132:10		Because of your servant David, do not give up your king.
132:11		The Lord gave a true oath to David, which he will not take back, saying, I will give your kingdom to the fruit of your body.
132:12		If your children keep my word, and the teachings which I will give them, their children will be rulers of your kingdom for ever.
132:13		For the Lord's heart is on Zion, desiring it for his resting-place.
132:14		This is my rest for ever: here will I ever be; for this is my desire.
132:15		My blessing will be on her food; and her poor will be full of bread.
132:16		Her priests will be clothed with salvation; and her saints will give cries of joy.
132:17		There I will make the horn of David fertile: I have made ready a light for my king.
132:18		His haters will be clothed with shame; but I will make his crown shining.
