Psalms

Chapter 132

1 Yahweh , remember David and all his affliction ,

2 how 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 ;

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

5 until I find out a place for Yahweh , a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob ."

6 Behold , 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 ."

8 Arise , Yahweh , into your resting place , you , and the ark of your strength .

9 Let your priests be clothed with righteousness . Let your saints shout for joy !

10 For your servant David ’s sake , don’t turn away the face of your anointed one.

11 Yahweh has sworn to David in truth . He will not turn from it : " I will set the fruit of your body on your throne .

12 If your children will keep my covenant , my testimony that I will teach them , their children also will sit on your throne forever more ."

13 For 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 .

15 I will abundantly bless her provision . I will satisfy her poor with bread .

16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation . Her saints will shout aloud for joy .

17 I will make the horn of David to bud there . I have ordained a lamp for my anointed .

18 I will clothe his enemies with shame , but on himself, his crown will shine ."
