The American Standard Version of 1901

Psalms 132

1

A Song of Ascents. Jehovah, remember for David All his affliction;

2

How he sware unto Jehovah, And vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob:

3

Surely I will not come into the 1 tabernacle of my house, Nor go up into 2 my bed; 1) Heb tent 2) Heb the couch of my bed

4

I will not give sleep to mine eyes, Or slumber to mine eyelids;

5

Until I find out a place for Jehovah, 1 A tabernacle for the Mighty One of Jacob. 1) Heb Tabernacles

6

Lo, we heard of it in 1 Ephrathah: We found it in the field of 2 the wood. 1) Or Ephraim 2) Or Jaar ; See 1 Co 13:5

7

We will go into his tabernacles; We will worship at his footstool.

8

Arise, O Jehovah, into thy resting-place; Thou, and the ark of thy strength.

9

Let thy priest 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

Jehovah hath sworn unto David in truth; 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 also shall sit upon thy throne for evermore.

13

For Jehovah hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it for his habitation.

14

This is my resting-place for ever: Here will I dwell; For I have desired it.

15

I will 1 abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread. 1) Or surely

16

Her priests also will I clothe with salvation; And her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

17

There will I make 1 the horn of David to bud: I have 2 ordained a lamp for mine anointed. 1) Or a horn to spring forth unto David 2) Or prepared

18

His enemies will I clothe with shame; But upon himself shall his crown flourish.
