Psalm 132

¹O LORD, remember on behalf of David all the hardships he endured,

²how he swore an oath to the LORD, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

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

⁴I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,

⁵until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

⁶We heard that the ark was in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.

⁷Let us go to His dwelling place; let us worship at His footstool.

⁸Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength.

⁹May Your priests be clothed with righteousness, and Your saints shout for joy.

¹⁰For the sake of Your servant David, do not reject Your anointed one.

¹¹The LORD swore an oath to David, a promise He will not revoke: “One of your descendants I will place on your throne.

¹²If your sons keep My covenant and the testimony I will teach them, then their sons will also sit on your throne forever and ever.”

¹³For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His home:

¹⁴“This is My resting place forever and ever; here I will dwell, for I have desired this home.

¹⁵I will bless her with abundant provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread.

¹⁶I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints will sing out in joy.

¹⁷There I will make a horn grow for David; I have prepared a lamp for My anointed one.

¹⁸I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown upon him will gleam.”
