Psalms 132
A Song of Ascents.
-
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 priest 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 forevermore.”
-
13For Yahweh has chosen Zion.
- He has desired it for his habitation.
-
14“This is my resting place forever.
- Here I will live, for I have desired it.
-
15I will abundantly bless her provision.
- I will satisfy her poor with bread.
-
16Her priests I will also clothe with salvation.
- Her saints will shout aloud for joy.
-
17There I will make the horn of David to bud.
- I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.
-
18I will clothe his enemies with shame,
- but on himself, his crown will be resplendent.”
