Psalms 132

¹LORD, remember David and all his affliction,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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