Psalm 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.

8Again the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying,
²Thus saith the Lord of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury.
³Thus saith the Lord; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the Lord of hosts the holy mountain.
⁴Thus saith the Lord of hosts; There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for very age.
⁵And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof.
⁶Thus saith the Lord of hosts; If it be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvellous in mine eyes? saith the Lord of hosts.
⁷Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country;
⁸And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.
²⁰Thus saith the Lord of hosts; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities:
²¹And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the Lord, and to seek the Lord of hosts: I will go also.
²²Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the Lord.
²³Thus saith the Lord of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.

³⁹And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda;
⁴⁰And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
⁴¹And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
⁴²And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
⁴³And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
⁴⁴For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
⁴⁵And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
