Chiasm
Psalm 132:9–16
Psalm 132:9–163 pivots
Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.
- A 9-10 LET THY PRIESTS BE CLOTHED with righteousness; AND LET THY SAINTS SHOUT FOR JOY. For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.
- B 11-12 Yahweh 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.
- C 13 For Yahweh hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.
- B1. 14 This is my rest FOR EVER: HERE WILL I DWELL; for I have desired it.
- B 11-12 Yahweh 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.
- A1. 15-16 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread. I WILL ALSO CLOTHE HER PRIESTS with salvation: AND HER SAINTS SHALL SHOUT ALOUD for joy.
