Psalm 132 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

Prayer for Jehovah's Blessing upon the Sanctuary.

Psa 132:1
A Song of Ascents.
Jehovah, remember for David
All his affliction;
Psa 132:2
How he sware unto Jehovah,
And vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob:
Psa 132:3
Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house,
Nor go up into my bed;
Psa 132:4
I will not give sleep to mine eyes,
Or slumber to mine eyelids;
Psa 132:5
Until I find out a place for Jehovah,
A tabernacle for the Mighty One of Jacob.
Psa 132:6
Lo, we heard of it in Ephrathah:
We found it in the field of the wood.
Psa 132:7
We will go into his tabernacles;
We will worship at his footstool.
Psa 132:8
Arise, O Jehovah, into thy resting-place;
Thou, and the ark of thy strength.
Psa 132:9
Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness;
And let thy saints shout for joy.
Psa 132:10
For thy servant David’s sake
Turn not away the face of thine anointed.
Psa 132:11
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.
Psa 132:12
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.
Psa 132:13
For Jehovah hath chosen Zion;
He hath desired it for his habitation.
Psa 132:14
This is my resting-place for ever:
Here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
Psa 132:15
I will abundantly bless her provision:
I will satisfy her poor with bread.
Psa 132:16
Her priests also will I clothe with salvation;
And her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
Psa 132:17
There will I make the horn of David to bud:
I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.
Psa 132:18
His enemies will I clothe with shame;
But upon himself shall his crown flourish.
