Psalms 131-133
Chapter 131
Psalm 131
A Childlike Spirit
A Davidic song of ascents.
1
Lord
, my heart is not proud;
my eyes are not haughty.(a)
I do not get involved with things
too great or too difficult for me.(b)
2 Instead, I have calmed and quieted myself
like a little weaned child with its mother;
I am like a little child.(c)
3 Israel, put your hope in the
Lord
,
both now and forever.(d)
Chapter 132
Psalm 132
David and Zion Chosen
A song of ascents.
1
Lord
, remember David
and all the hardships he endured,(a)
2 and how he swore an oath to the
Lord
,
making a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:(b)
3 "I will not enter my house[a]
or get into my bed,[b]
4 I will not allow my eyes to sleep
or my eyelids to slumber(c)
5 until I find a place for the
Lord
,
a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob."(d)
6 We heard of the ark in Ephrathah;[c](e)
we found it in the fields of Jaar.[d](f)
7 Let us go to His dwelling place;
let us worship at His footstool.(g)
8 Rise up,
Lord
, come to Your resting place,
You and Your powerful ark.(h)
9 May Your priests be clothed with righteousness,
and may Your godly people shout for joy.(i)
10 Because of Your servant David,
do not reject Your anointed one.[e](j)
11 The
Lord
swore an oath to David,
a promise He will not abandon:
"I will set one of your descendants[f]
on your throne.(k)
12 If your sons keep My covenant
and My decrees that I will teach them,
their sons will also sit on your throne forever."(l)
13 For the
Lord
has chosen Zion;
He has desired it for His home:(m)
14 "This is My resting place forever;
I will make My home here
because I have desired it.(n)
15 I will abundantly bless its food;
I will satisfy its needy with bread.(o)
16 I will clothe its priests with salvation,
and its godly people will shout for joy.(p)
17 There I will make a horn grow for David;(q)
I have prepared a lamp for My anointed one.(r)
18 I will clothe his enemies with shame,(s)
but the crown he wears[g] will be glorious."(t)
Chapter 133
Psalm 133
Living in Harmony
A Davidic song of ascents.
1 How good and pleasant it is
when brothers live together in harmony!(a)
2 It is like fine oil on the head,
running down on the beard,
running down Aaron's beard
onto his robes.(b)
3 It is like the dew of Hermon[a]
falling on the mountains of Zion.(c)
For there the
Lord
has appointed the blessing—
life forevermore.(d)
