131:0 KJV Chapter [132] A Song of degrees:

131:1 LORD, remember David, [and] all his afflictions:

131:2 How he sware unto the LORD, [and] vowed unto the mighty [God] of Jacob:

131:3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed:

131:4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, [or] slumber to mine eyelids:

131:5 Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty [God] of Jacob:

131:6 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood:

131:7 We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool:

131:8 Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength:

131:9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy:

131:10 For thy servant David' s sake turn not away the face of thine anointed:

131:11 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:

131:12 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:

131:13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired [it] for his habitation:

131:14 This [is] my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it:

131:15 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread:

131:16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy:

131:17 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed:

131:18 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish:
