[ Read](/kjv/psalms/132)[ Commentary](/study/psalms/132)[ Interlinear](/interlinear/psalms/132) Audio

 1 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, an 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 hath 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 for evermore.

 13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired *it* for his habitation.

 14 This *is* my rest for ever: 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.
 
[Psalms 131](/study/psalms/131) [Psalms 133](/study/psalms/133)

## Commentary

 To verse 1
 
**Lord, remember David -**Call to remembrance his zeal, his labor, his trials in order that there might be a permanent place for thy worship. Call this to remembrance in order that his purpose in thy cause may not be frustrated; in order that the promises made to him may be accomplished. 

**And all his afflictions -**The particular trial here referred to was his care and toil, that there might be a settled home for the ark. The word used would not refer merely to what is specified in the following verses (his bringing up the ark to Mount Zion), but to his purpose to build a house for God, and - since he was not permitted himself to build it because he was a man of war, and had been engaged in scenes of blood, [1 Kings 5:3](/kjv/1-kings/5/3); [1 Chronicles 22:8](/kjv/1-chronicles/22/8) - to his care and toil in collecting materials for the temple to be erected by his son and successor. It is not, therefore, his general afflictions which are here meant, but his anxiety, and his efforts to secure a lasting place for the worship of God.
