Psalms 131-133
Chapter 131
Psalm 131
A song of ascents. Of David.
1 My heart is not proud,(a)
Lord
,
my eyes are not haughty;(b)
I do not concern myself with great matters(c)
or things too wonderful for me.(d)
2 But I have calmed and quieted myself,(e)
I am like a weaned child with its mother;
like a weaned child I am content.(f)
3 Israel, put your hope(g) in the
Lord
both now and forevermore.(h)
Chapter 132
Psalm 132(a)
A song of ascents.
1
Lord
, remember David
and all his self-denial.(b)
2 He swore an oath to the
Lord
,
he made a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:(c)
3 "I will not enter my house(d)
or go to my bed,
4 I will allow no sleep to my eyes
or slumber to my eyelids,
5 till I find a place(e) for the
Lord
,
a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob."
6 We heard it in Ephrathah,(f)
we came upon it in the fields of Jaar:[a](g)
7 "Let us go to his dwelling place,(h)
let us worship at his footstool,(i) saying,
8 ‘Arise,
Lord
,(j) and come to your resting place,
you and the ark of your might.
9 May your priests be clothed with your righteousness;(k)
may your faithful people(l) sing for joy.'"
10 For the sake of your servant David,
do not reject your anointed one.
11 The
Lord
swore an oath to David,(m)
a sure oath he will not revoke:
"One of your own descendants(n)
I will place on your throne.
12 If your sons keep my covenant(o)
and the statutes I teach them,
then their sons will sit
on your throne(p) for ever and ever."
13 For the
Lord
has chosen Zion,(q)
he has desired it for his dwelling,(r) saying,
14 "This is my resting place for ever and ever;(s)
here I will sit enthroned,(t) for I have desired it.
15 I will bless her with abundant provisions;
her poor I will satisfy with food.(u)
16 I will clothe her priests(v) with salvation,
and her faithful people will ever sing for joy.(w)
17 "Here I will make a horn[b] grow(x) for David
and set up a lamp(y) for my anointed one.(z)
18 I will clothe his enemies with shame,(aa)
but his head will be adorned with a radiant crown."(ab)
Chapter 133
Psalm 133
A song of ascents. Of David.
1 How good and pleasant it is
when God's people live together(a) in unity!(b)
2 It is like precious oil poured on the head,(c)
running down on the beard,
running down on Aaron's beard,
down on the collar of his robe.
3 It is as if the dew(d) of Hermon(e)
were falling on Mount Zion.(f)
For there the
Lord
bestows his blessing,(g)
even life forevermore.(h)
