Psalm 132

¹Yahweh, remember David and all his affliction,

²how he swore to Yahweh,

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 Yahweh,

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, Yahweh, 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.

¹¹Yahweh 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 Yahweh 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.”
