Psalm 132

¹O Lord, remember 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.”

⁶We 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.”

⁸Rise up, 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 faithful shout for joy.

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

¹¹The 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 decrees that I shall teach them, their sons also, forevermore, shall sit on your throne.”

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

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

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

¹⁶Its priests I will clothe with salvation, and its faithful will shout for joy.

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

¹⁸His enemies I will clothe with disgrace, but on him, his crown will gleam.”
