Psalms 131

¹A Canticle in steps. O Lord, remember David and all his meekness,

²how he swore to the Lord, how he made a vow to the God of Jacob:

³I shall not enter into the tabernacle of my house, nor climb into the bed where I lie down;

⁴I shall not give sleep to my eyes, nor slumber to my eyelids

⁵and rest to my temples, until I find a place for the Lord, a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.

⁶Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We discovered it in the fields of the forest.

⁷We will enter into his tabernacle. We will adore in the place where his feet stood.

⁸Rise up, O Lord, into your resting place. You and the ark of your sanctification.

⁹Let your priests be clothed with justice, and let your saints exult.

¹⁰For the sake of your servant David, do not turn away the face of your Christ.

¹¹The Lord has sworn the truth to David, and he will not disappoint: I will set upon your throne from the fruit of your lineage.

¹²If your sons will keep my covenant and these, my testimonies, which I will teach to them, then their sons will sit upon your throne even forever.

¹³For the Lord has chosen Zion. He has chosen it as his dwelling place.

¹⁴This is my resting place, forever and ever. Here I will dwell, for I have chosen it.

¹⁵When blessing, I will bless her widow. I will satisfy her poor with bread.

¹⁶I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints will rejoice with great joy.

¹⁷There, I will produce a horn to David. There, I have prepared a lamp for my Christ.

¹⁸I will clothe his enemies with confusion. But my sanctification will flourish over him.

Psalms 131

¹A gradual canticle. O Lord, remember David, and all his meekness.

²How he swore to the Lord, he vowed a vow to the God of Jacob:

³If I shall enter into the tabernacle of my house: if I shall go up into the bed wherein I lie:

⁴If I shall give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids,

⁵Or rest to my temples: until I find out a place for the Lord, a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.

⁶Behold we have heard of it in Ephrata: we have found it in the fields of the wood.

⁷We will go into his tabernacle: we will adore in the place where his feet stood.

⁸Arise, O Lord, into thy resting place: thou and the ark, which thou hast sanctified.

⁹Let thy priests be clothed with justice: and let thy saints rejoice.

¹⁰For thy servant David's sake, turn not away the face of thy anointed.

¹¹The Lord hath sworn truth to David, and he will not make it void: of the fruit of thy womb I will set upon thy throne.

¹²If thy children will keep my covenant, and these my testimonies which I shall teach them: Their children also for evermore shall sit upon thy throne.

¹³For the Lord hath chosen Sion: he hath chosen it for his dwelling.

¹⁴This is my rest for ever and ever: here will I dwell, for I have chosen it.

¹⁵Blessing I will bless her widow: I will satisfy her poor with bread.

¹⁶I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints shall rejoice with exceeding great joy.

¹⁷There will I bring forth a horn to David: I have prepared a lamp for my anointed.

¹⁸His enemies I will clothe with confusion: but upon him shall my sanctification flourish.
