Chapter 131
Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me. 2 Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child. 3 Let Israel hope in the Lord from henceforth and forever.
​Chapter 132
A Song of degrees. Lord, remember David, and all his afflictions: 2 How he sware unto the Lord, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob; 3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed; 4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids, 5 Until I find out a place for the Lord, a habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.
6 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood. 7 We will go into His tabernacles: we will worship at His footstool. 8 Arise, O Lord, into Thy rest; Thou, and the ark of Thy strength. 9 Let Thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let Thy saints shout for joy. 10 For Thy servant David’s sake turn not away the face of Thine anointed.
11 The Lord has sworn in truth unto David; He will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne. 12 If thy children will keep My covenant and My testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne forevermore. 13 For the Lord has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His habitation. 14 This is My rest forever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it. 15 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread. 16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy. 17 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for Mine anointed. 18 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
