Psalms 132
World English Bible
- Title: 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 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.”
