Psalms 132 ⓘ

132:1 A Song of Ascents. LORD, remember David and all his affliction,

132:2 how he swore to the LORD, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

132:3 “Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, nor go up into my bed;

132:4 I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids,

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

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

132:7 “We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at his footstool.”

132:8 Arise, LORD, into your resting place, you, and the ark of your strength.

132:9 Let your priests be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!

132:10 For your servant David’s sake, don’t turn away the face of your anointed one.

132:11 The LORD has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: “I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.

132:12 If your children will keep my covenant, my testimony that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forever more.”

132:13 For the LORD has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation.

132:14 “This is my resting place forever. I will live here, for I have desired it.

132:15 I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread.

132:16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation. Her saints will shout aloud for joy.

132:17 I will make the horn of David to bud there. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.

132:18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will shine.”
