Song of degrees. O Lord, remember David, all his troubles!

He swore to the Lord; He vowed this vow to the mighty one of Jacob:
132.3
I will not enter the tent where I live, I will not climb on the bed where I lie,

I will neither give sleep to my eyes, nor slumber to my eyelids.
132.5
Until I find a place for the Lord, a home for the mighty one of Jacob.

May thy priests be clothed with righteousness, and thy saints shout for joy.

The Lord has sworn the truth to David, He will not turn back; I will put on your throne a fruit of your womb.

132.13
Yea, the Lord chose Zion, He desired her for his dwelling place:
132.14
It is my place of rest forever; I will live there, because I wanted it.
132.15
I will bless her food, I will satisfy her needy with bread;
132.16
I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints will shout for joy.
132.17
There I will exalt the power of David; I will prepare a lamp for my anointed one,
132.18
I will clothe his enemies with shame, and his crown will shine upon him.
