n°19 / Psalms 132 :

1Lord, remember David, and all his afflictions :
2How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob ;
3Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed ;
4I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,
5Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.
6Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah : we found it in the fields of the wood.
7We will go into his tabernacles : we will worship at his footstool.
8Arise, O LORD, into thy rest ; thou, and the ark of thy strength.
9Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness ; and let thy saints shout for joy.
10For thy servant David’s sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.
11The 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.
12If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.
13For the LORD hath chosen Zion ; he hath desired it for his habitation.
14This is my rest for ever : here will I dwell ; for I have desired it.
15I will abundantly bless her provision : I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16I will also clothe her priests with salvation : and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
17There will I make the horn of David to bud : I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.
18His enemies will I clothe with shame : but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
