The prophet's humility. 130:1. A gradual canticle of David. Lord, my heart is not exalted: nor are my eyes lofty. Neither have I walked in great matters, nor in wonderful things above me. 130:2. If I was not humbly minded, but exalted my soul: As a child that is weaned is towards his mother, so reward in my soul. 130:3. Let Israel hope in the Lord, from henceforth now and for ever. Psalms Chapter 131 Memento, Domine. A prayer for the fulfilling of the promise made to David. 131:1. A gradual canticle. O Lord, remember David, and all his meekness. 131:2. How he swore to the Lord, he vowed a vow to the God of Jacob: 131:3. If I shall enter into the tabernacle of my house: if I shall go up into the bed wherein I lie: 131:4. If I shall give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids, 131:5. Or rest to my temples: until I find out a place for the Lord, a tabernacle for the God of Jacob. 131:6. Behold we have heard of it in Ephrata: we have found it in the fields of the wood. We have heard of it in Ephrata. . .When I was young, and lived in Bethlehem, otherwise called Ephrata, I heard of God's tabernacle and ark, and had a devout desire of seeking it; and accordingly I found it at Cariathiarim, the city of the woods: where it was till it was removed to Jerusalem. See 1 Par. 13. 131:7. We will go into his tabernacle: we will adore in the place where his feet stood. 131:8. Arise, O Lord, into thy resting place: thou and the ark, which thou hast sanctified. 131:9. Let thy priests be clothed with justice: and let thy saints rejoice. 131:10. For thy servant David's sake, turn not away the face of thy anointed. 131:11. The Lord hath sworn truth to David, and he will not make it void: of the fruit of thy womb I will set upon thy throne. 131:12. If thy children will keep my covenant, and these my testimonies which I shall teach them: Their children also for evermore shall sit upon thy throne. 131:13. For the Lord hath chosen Sion: he hath chosen it for his dwelling. 131:14. This is my rest for ever and ever: here will I dwell, for I have chosen it. 131:15. Blessing I will bless her widow: I will satisfy her poor with bread. 131:16. I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints shall rejoice with exceeding great joy. 131:17. There will I bring forth a horn to David: I have prepared a lamp for my anointed. 131:18. His enemies I will clothe with confusion: but upon him shall my sanctification flourish. Psalms Chapter 132 Ecce quam bonum. The happiness of brotherly love and concord. 132:1. A gradual canticle of David. Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity: 132:2. Like the precious ointment on the head, that ran down upon the beard, the beard of Aaron, Which ran down to the skirt of his garment: 132:3. As the dew of Hermon, which descendeth upon mount Sion. For there the Lord hath commanded blessing, and life for evermore. Psalms Chapter 133
