A husband is to love his wife. Such love never demands obedience. It never demands anything; it seeks not to be served, but to serve…The measure of the love required by the husband is to be well noted, “just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her.” This is a lofty standard. How did Christ show His love for His Church? Think of His gentleness to His friends, His patience with them in all their faultiness, His thoughtfulness, His unwearying kindness. Never did a harsh word fall from His lips upon their ears. Never did He do anything to give them pain. It was not easy for Him at all times to maintain such constancy and such composure and quietness of love toward them; for they were very faulty, and tried Him in a thousand ways. But His affection never wearied nor failed for an instant. Husbands are to love their wives even as Christ also loved the Church, and gave Himself up for it. He loved even to the cost of utmost self sacrifice.

132:1 Nyanyian ziarah. Ingatlah, ya TUHAN, kepada Daud dan segala penderitaannya,

132:2 bagaimana ia telah bersumpah kepada TUHAN, telah bernazar kepada Yang Mahakuat dari Yakub:

132:3 “Sesungguhnya aku tidak akan masuk ke dalam kemah kediamanku, tidak akan berbaring di ranjang petiduranku,

132:4 sesungguhnya aku tidak akan membiarkan mataku tidur atau membiarkan kelopak mataku terlelap,

132:5 sampai aku mendapat tempat untuk TUHAN, kediaman untuk Yang Mahakuat dari Yakub.”

132:6 Memang kita telah mendengar tentang itu di Efrata, telah mendapatnya di padang Yaar.

132:7 “Mari kita pergi ke kediaman-Nya, sujud menyembah pada tumpuan kaki-Nya.”

132:8 Bangunlah, ya TUHAN, dan pergilah ke tempat perhentian-Mu, Engkau serta tabut kekuatan-Mu!

132:9 Biarlah imam-imam-Mu berpakaian kebenaran, dan bersorak-sorai orang-orang yang Kaukasihi!

132:10 Oleh karena Daud, hamba-Mu, janganlah Engkau menolak orang yang Kauurapi!

132:11 TUHAN telah menyatakan sumpah setia kepada Daud, Ia tidak akan memungkirinya: “Seorang anak kandungmu akan Kududukkan di atas takhtamu;

132:12 jika anak-anakmu berpegang pada perjanjian-Ku, dan pada peraturan-peraturan-Ku yang Kuajarkan kepada mereka, maka anak-anak mereka selama-lamanya akan duduk di atas takhtamu.”

132:13 Sebab TUHAN telah memilih Sion, mengingininya menjadi tempat kedudukan-Nya:

132:14 “Inilah tempat perhentian-Ku selama-lamanya, di sini Aku hendak diam, sebab Aku mengingininya.

132:15 Perbekalannya akan Kuberkati dengan limpahnya, orang-orangnya yang miskin akan Kukenyangkan dengan roti,

132:16 imam-imamnya akan Kukenakan pakaian keselamatan, dan orang-orangnya yang saleh akan bersorak-sorai dengan girang.

132:17 Di sanalah Aku akan menumbuhkan sebuah tanduk bagi Daud, Aku akan menyediakan sebuah pelita bagi orang yang Kuurapi.

132:18 Musuh-musuhnya akan Kukenakan pakaian penuh malu, tetapi di atas kepalanya akan bersemarak mahkotanya.”
