Psalms 132

¹A Song of[1] Ascents. O LORD, remember on David's behalf All his hardship and affliction;

²How he swore to the LORD And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

³"I absolutely will not enter my house, Nor get into my bed—

⁴I certainly will not permit my eyes to sleep Nor my eyelids to slumber,

⁵Until I find a place for the LORD, A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob (Israel)."

⁶Behold, we heard of it at Ephrathah; We found it in the field of Jaar.

⁷Let us go into His tabernacle; Let us worship at His footstool.

⁸Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place, You and the ark [the symbol] of Your strength.

⁹Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness (right living), And let Your godly ones shout for joy.

¹⁰For the sake of Your servant David, Do not turn away the face of Your anointed.

¹¹The LORD swore to David A truth from which He will not turn back: "One of your[2] descendants I will set upon your throne.

¹²"If your children will keep My covenant And My testimony which I will teach them, Their children also shall sit upon your throne forever."

¹³For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His dwelling place:

¹⁴"This is My resting place forever" [says the LORD]; "Here will I dwell, for I have desired it.

¹⁵"I will abundantly bless her provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread.

¹⁶"Her priests also I will clothe with salvation, And her godly ones will shout aloud for joy.

¹⁷"There I will make the horn (strength) of David grow; I have prepared a lamp for My anointed [fulfilling the promises].

¹⁸"His enemies I will clothe with shame, But upon himself shall his crown shine."
