Psalm 132 - New International Version, 2011 bible

Psalm 132

¹A song of ascents. [1] LORD, remember David and all his self-denial.

²He swore an oath to the LORD, he made a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:

³“I will not enter my house or go to my bed,

⁴I will allow no sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,

⁵till I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

⁶We heard it in Ephrathah, we came upon it in the fields of Jaar: [216]

⁷“Let us go to his dwelling place, let us worship at his footstool, saying,

⁸‘Arise, LORD, and come to your resting place, you and the ark of your might.

⁹May your priests be clothed with your righteousness; may your faithful people sing for joy.’ ”

¹⁰For the sake of your servant David, do not reject your anointed one.

¹¹The LORD swore an oath to David, a sure oath he will not revoke: “One of your own descendants I will place on your throne.

¹²If your sons keep my covenant and the statutes I teach them, then their sons will sit on your throne for ever and ever.”

¹³For the LORD has chosen Zion, he has desired it for his dwelling, saying,

¹⁴“This is my resting place for ever and ever; here I will sit enthroned, for I have desired it.

¹⁵I will bless her with abundant provisions; her poor I will satisfy with food.

¹⁶I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her faithful people will ever sing for joy.

¹⁷“Here I will make a horn [217] grow for David and set up a lamp for my anointed one.

¹⁸I will clothe his enemies with shame, but his head will be adorned with a radiant crown.”
