Ps 132


132:1 A song of ascents. O LORD, remember David and all the hardships he endured.

132:2 He swore an oath to the LORD and made a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:

132:3 “I will not enter my house or go to my bed–

132:4 I will allow no sleep to my eyes, no slumber to my eyelids,

132:5 till I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

132:6 We heard it in Ephrathah, we came upon it in the fields of Jaar:

132:7 “Let us go to his dwelling place; let us worship at his footstool–

132:8 arise, O LORD, and come to your resting place, you and the ark of your might.

132:9 May your priests be clothed with righteousness; may your saints sing for joy.”

132:10 For the sake of David your servant, do not reject your anointed one.

132:11 The LORD swore an oath to David, a sure oath that he will not revoke: “One of your own descendants I will place on your throne–

132:12 if your sons keep my covenant and the statutes I teach them, then their sons will sit on your throne for ever and ever.”

132:13 For the LORD has chosen Zion, he has desired it for his dwelling:

132:14 “This is my resting place for ever and ever; here I will sit enthroned, for I have desired it–

132:15 I will bless her with abundant provisions; her poor will I satisfy with food.

132:16 I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints will ever sing for joy.

132:17 “Here I will make a horn grow for David and set up a lamp for my anointed one.

132:18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown on his head will be resplendent.”

132:1 Remember, O Jehovah, for David s sake / All his afflictions;

132:2 How he swore to Jehovah / And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

132:3 I shall not go into the tent of my house; / I shall not go up onto the couch of my bed;

132:4 I shall not give sleep to my eyes, / Slumber to my eyelids;

132:5 Until I find a place for Jehovah, / A tabernacle for the Mighty One of Jacob.

132:6 Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah; / We found it in the fields of Jaar.

132:7 We will go into His tabernacle; / We will worship at His footstool.

132:8 Arise, O Jehovah, unto Your resting place, / You and the Ark of Your strength.

132:9 Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness, / And let Your faithful ones give a ringing shout.

132:10 For the sake of David Your servant, / Do not turn away the face of Your Anointed One.

132:11 Jehovah has sworn unto David in truth; / He will not turn from it: / Of the fruit of your body I will set One upon your throne.

132:12 If your children keep My covenant / And My testimonies that I will teach them, / Their children also will sit / Upon your throne forever.

132:13 For Jehovah has chosen Zion; / He has desired it for His habitation.

132:14 This is My resting place forever; / Here will I dwell, for I have desired it.

132:15 I will abundantly bless its provision; / I will satisfy its poor with bread.

132:16 And its priests I will clothe with salvation, / And its faithful ones will shout with a ringing shout.

132:17 There I will cause a horn of David to shoot forth; / I have prepared a lamp for My anointed one.

132:18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, / But on him his crown will shine.
