132:1 [A Song of Ascents.]
Remember, LORD, in David’s behalf,
All his affliction;
132:2 How he swore to the LORD
And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob,
132:3 “I certainly will not ①enter my house,
Nor ②lie on my bed;
▷ ①Lit come into the tabernacle of ②Lit go up into the couch of
132:4 I will not give sleep to my eyes
Or slumber to my eyelids,
132:5 Until I find a place for the LORD,
①A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
▷ ①Lit Dwelling places
132:6 Behold, we heard about it in Ephrathah,
We found it in the field of ①Jaar.
▷ ①Or the wood
132:7 Let’s go into His ①dwelling place;
Let’s worship at His footstool.
▷ ①Lit dwelling places
132:8 Arise, LORD, to Your resting place,
You and the ark of Your strength.
132:9 May Your priests be clothed with righteousness,
And may Your godly ones sing for joy.
132:10 For the sake of Your servant David,
Do not turn away the face of Your anointed.
132:11 The LORD has sworn to David
A truth from which He will not turn back:
“I will set upon your throne one from the fruit of your body.
132:12 If your sons will keep My covenant
And My testimony which I will teach them,
Their sons also will sit upon your throne forever.”
132:13 For the LORD has chosen Zion;
He has desired it as His dwelling place.
132:14 “This is My resting place forever;
Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.
132:15 I will abundantly bless her food;
I will satisfy her needy with bread.
132:16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation,
And her godly ones will sing aloud for joy.
132:17 I will make the horn of David spring forth there;
I have prepared a lamp for My anointed.
132:18 I will clothe his enemies with shame,
But upon himself his crown will gleam.”
