Psalms 132

¹LORD, do not forget David and all the hardships he endured.

²Remember, LORD, what he promised, the vow he made to you, the Mighty God of Jacob:

³"I will not go home or go to bed;

⁴I will not rest or sleep,

⁵until I provide a place for the LORD, a home for the Mighty God of Jacob."

⁶In Bethlehem we heard about the Covenant Box, and we found it in the fields of Jearim.

⁷We said, "Let us go to the LORD's house; let us worship before his throne."

⁸Come to the Temple, LORD, with the Covenant Box, the symbol of your power, and stay here forever.

⁹May your priests do always what is right; may your people shout for joy!

¹⁰You made a promise to your servant David; do not reject your chosen king, LORD.

¹¹You made a solemn promise to David--- a promise you will not take back: "I will make one of your sons king, and he will rule after you.

¹²If your sons are true to my covenant and to the commands I give them, their sons, also, will succeed you for all time as kings."

¹³The LORD has chosen Zion; he wants to make it his home:

¹⁴"This is where I will live forever; this is where I want to rule.

¹⁵I will richly provide Zion with all she needs; I will satisfy her poor with food.

¹⁶I will bless her priests in all they do, and her people will sing and shout for joy.

¹⁷Here I will make one of David's descendants a great king; here I will preserve the rule of my chosen king.

¹⁸I will cover his enemies with shame, but his kingdom will prosper and flourish."
