Psalms Chapter 132   
  
   New American Standard Bible

  
     1  Remember, O LORD, on David's behalf, All his affliction; [gsn] [jfb] [jwc]   2  How he swore to the LORD And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob,   3  "Surely I will not enter my house, Nor lie on my bed; [gsn]   4  I will not give sleep to my eyes Or slumber to my eyelids,   5  Until I find a place for the LORD, A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob." [gsn] [jfb] [jwc]   6  Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah, We found it in the field of Jaar. [gsn] [jfb] [jwc]   7  Let us go into His dwelling place; Let us worship at His footstool. [jfb] [jwc]   8  Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength. [gsn] [jfb] [jwc]   9  Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness, And let Your godly ones sing for joy. [gsn]   10  For the sake of David Your servant, Do not turn away the face of Your anointed. [gsn] [jfb] [jwc]   11  The LORD has sworn to David A truth from which He will not turn back: "Of the fruit of your body I will set upon your throne.   12  "If your sons will keep My covenant And My testimony which I will teach them, Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forever." [gsn]   13  For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His habitation. [jfb]   14  "This is My resting place forever; Here I will dwell, for I have desired it. [gsn] [jfb]   15  "I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her needy with bread.   16  "Her priests also I will clothe with salvation, And her godly ones will sing aloud for joy. [gsn] [jwc]   17  "There I will cause the horn of David to spring forth; I have prepared a lamp for Mine anointed. [gsn] [jfb] [jwc]   18  "His enemies I will clothe with shame, But upon himself his crown shall shine."
