Psalm 131 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷
I Have Stilled My Soul
1 A gradual Canticle. Remember David, o Lord, and all his meekness:
2 As he sware to our Lord, vowed a vow to the God of Jacob.
3 If I shall enter into the tabernacle of my house, if I shall ascend into the bed of my couch.
4 If I shall give sleep to mine eyes, and slumbering to mine eye lids:
5 And rest to my temples: until I find a place for our Lord, a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
6 Behold we have heard of it in Ephrata: we have found it in the fields of the wood.
7 We will enter into his tabernacle: we will adore in the place where his feet stood.
8 Arise Lord into thy rest, thou, and the ark of thy sanctification.
9 Let thy Priests be clothed with justice: & let thy saints rejoice.
10 For David thy servant's sake turn not away the face of thy Christ.
11 Our Lord hath sworn truth to David, and he will not disappoint it: Of the fruit of thy womb I will set upon thy seat.
12 If thy children shall keep my testament, and these my testimonies which I will teach them: Their children also even for ever, shall sit upon thy seat.
13 Because our Lord hath chosen Sion: he hath chosen it for an habitation to himself.
14 This is my rest for ever and ever: here will I dwell because I have chosen it.
15 Blessing I will bless her widow: her poor I will fill with breads.
16 Her Priests I will clothe with salvation: and her saints shall rejoice with joyfulness.
17 Thither will I bring forth a horn to David, I have prepared a lamp to my Christ.
18 His enemies I will clothe with confusion: but upon him shall my sanctification flourish.
