Psalm 132. Memento, Domine.

1. LORD, remember David, *
   and all his trouble:
2. How he sware unto the Lord, *
   and vowed a vow unto the Almighty God of Jacob:
3. I will not come within the tabernacle of mine house, *
   nor climb up into my bed;
4. I will not suffer mine eyes to sleep, nor mine eyelids to slumber; *
   neither the temples of my head to take any rest;
5. Until I find out a place for the temple of the Lord; *
   an habitation for the Mighty God of Jacob.
6. Lo, we heard of the same at Ephratah, *
   and found it in the wood.
7. We will go into his tabernacle, *
   and fall low on our knees before his footstool.
8. Arise, O Lord, into thy resting-place; *
   thou, and the ark of thy strength.
9. Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; *
   and let thy saints sing with joyfulness.
10. For thy servant David's sake, *
    turn not away the face of thine anointed.
11. The Lord hath made a faithful oath unto David, *
    and he shall not shrink from it:
12. Of the fruit of thy body *
    shall I set upon thy throne.
13. If thy children will keep my covenant, and my testimonies that I shall teach them; *
    their children also shall sit upon thy throne for evermore.
14. For the Lord hath chosen Sion to be an habitation for himself; *
    he hath longed for her.
15. This shall be my rest for ever: *
    here will I dwell, for I have a delight therein.
16. I will bless her victuals with increase, *
    and will satisfy her poor with bread.
17. I will deck her priests with health, *
    and her saints shall rejoice and sing.
18. There shall I make the horn of David to flourish: *
    I have ordained a lantern for mine anointed.
19. As for his enemies, I shall clothe them with shame; *
    but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
