Psalms 132

1 A song of ascents. Yahweh, for David's sake call to mind all his afflictions.⋮

2 Call to mind how he swore to Yahweh, how he vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob.⋮

3 He said, “I will not enter my house or get into my bed,⋮

4 I will not give sleep to my eyes or rest to my eyelids⋮

5 until I find a place for Yahweh, a tabernacle for the Mighty One of Jacob.”⋮

6 See, we heard about it in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.⋮

7 We will go into God's tabernacle; we will worship at his footstool.⋮

8 Arise, Yahweh, to your resting place, you and the ark of your strength!⋮

9 May your priests be clothed with integrity; may your faithful ones shout for joy.⋮

10 For your servant David's sake, do not turn away from your anointed king.⋮

11 Yahweh swore a sure oath to David, a sure oath that he will not revoke: “I will place one of your descendants on your throne.⋮

12 If your sons keep my covenant and the laws that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forevermore.”⋮

13 Certainly Yahweh has chosen Zion, he has desired her for his seat.⋮

14 “This is my resting place forever. I will live here, for I desire her.⋮

15 I will abundantly bless her with provisions. I will satisfy her poor with bread.⋮

16 I will clothe her priests with salvation, her faithful ones will shout aloud for joy.⋮

17 There I will make a horn to sprout for David and set up a lamp for my anointed one.⋮

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