Psalm 132 A Song of Ascents.
- Remember, O LORD, in David’s favor, all the hardships he endured,
- how he swore to the LORD and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob,
- “I will not enter my house or get into my bed,
- I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,
- until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
- Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.
- “Let us go to his dwelling place; let us worship at his footstool!”
- Arise, O LORD, and go to your resting place, you and the ark of your might.
- Let your priests be clothed with righteousness, and let your saints shout for joy.
- For the sake of your servant David, do not turn away the face of your anointed one.
- 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.
- If your sons keep my covenant and my testimonies that I shall teach them, their sons also forever shall sit on your throne.”
- For the LORD has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his dwelling place:
- “This is my resting place forever; here I will dwell, for I have desired it.
- I will abundantly bless her provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread.
- Her priests I will clothe with salvation, and her saints will shout for joy.
- There I will make a horn to sprout for David; I have prepared a lamp for my anointed.
- His enemies I will clothe with shame, but on him his crown will shine.”
