Psalm 132:1–185 matched frames

Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

A 1-2 LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions: How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;
- B 3-7 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed; I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids, Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob. Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood. We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.
  - C 8 Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.
    - D 9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.
      - E 10 For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.
A' 11-12 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. 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.
- B' 13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.
  - C' 14-15 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it. I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.
    - D' 16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
      - E' 17-18 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed. His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
