Psalm 132

A Song of Ascents.

¹Remember, O Lord, in David’s favor,
all the hardships he endured,

²how he swore to the Lord
and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob,

³“I will not enter my house
or get into my bed,

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

⁵until I find a place for the Lord,
a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

⁶Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah;
we found it in the fields of Jaar.

⁷“Let us go to his dwelling place;
let us worship at his footstool!”

⁸ Arise, O Lord, and go to your resting place,
you and the ark of your might.

⁹Let your priests be clothed with righteousness,
and let your saints shout for joy.

¹⁰For the sake of your servant David,
do not turn away the face of your anointed one.

¹¹ The Lord swore to David a sure oath
from which he will not turn back:
“One of the sons of your body
I will set on your throne.

¹²If your sons keep my covenant
and my testimonies that I shall teach them,
their sons also forever
shall sit on your throne.”

¹³For the Lord has chosen Zion;
he has desired it for his dwelling place:

¹⁴“This is my resting place forever;
here I will dwell, for I have desired it.

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

¹⁶Her priests I will clothe with salvation,
and her saints will shout for joy.

¹⁷There I will make a horn to sprout for David;
I have prepared a lamp for my anointed.

¹⁸His enemies I will clothe with shame,
but on him his crown will shine.”
