Psalms 132 Comparison: New Heart English Bible vs King James Version
Psalms 132
1Lord, remember David and all his affliction,
2how he swore to the Lord, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3"Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, nor go up into my bed;
4I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids;
5until I find out a place for the Lord, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob."
6Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar:
7"We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at his footstool.
8Arise, Lord, into your resting place; you, and the ark of your strength.
9Let your priest be clothed with righteousness. Let your holy ones shout for joy!"
10For your servant David's sake, do not turn away the face of your anointed one.
11The Lord has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: "I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.
12If your children will keep my covenant, my testimony that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forevermore."
13For the Lord has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation.
14"This is my resting place forever. Here I will live, for I have desired it.
15I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16Her priests I will also clothe with salvation. Her holy ones will shout aloud for joy.
17There I will make the horn of David to bud. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.
18I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will be resplendent."
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.
