Psalms 132

Psalm 132
¶ A Song of degrees.
1Lord, remember David and all his afflictions:
2How he swore unto the Lord and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;
3surely I will not come into the habitation 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 the Lord, a habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.
6Behold, we heard of her in Ephratah; we found her in the fields of the wood.
7We will go into his tents; we will worship at his footstool.
8Arise, O Lord, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.
9Thy priests are clothed with righteousness, and thy merciful ones shout for joy.
10For the love of thy slave David, do not turn away thy face from thine anointed.
11¶ The Lord has sworn truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body I will set upon thy throne.
12If thy sons will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their sons shall also sit upon thy throne for ever.
13For the Lord has chosen Zion; he has desired her for his habitation.
14This shall be my rest for ever; here I will dwell; for I have desired her.
15I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16I will also clothe her priests with saving health, and her merciful ones shall shout aloud for joy.
17There will I make the horn of David to bud; I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.
18His enemies I will clothe with shame, but upon himself shall his crown blossom.

Psalm 132
A song for going up to worship.
1O Lord, remember David and all the hardships he endured.
2Remember how he swore an oath to the Lord
and made this vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3“I will not step inside my house,
4get into my bed, shut my eyes, or close my eyelids
5until I find a place for the Lord,
a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
6Now, we have heard about the ark ⌞of the promise⌟ being in Ephrathah.
We have found it in Jaar.
7Let’s go to his dwelling place.
Let’s worship at his footstool.
8O Lord, arise, and come to your resting place
with the ark of your power.
9Clothe your priests with righteousness.
Let your godly ones sing with joy.
10For the sake of your servant David,
do not reject your anointed one.
11The Lord swore an oath to David.
This is a truth he will not take back:
“I will set one of your own descendants on your throne.
12If your sons are faithful to my promise #132:12 Or “covenant.”
and my written instructions that I will teach them,
then their descendants will also sit on your throne forever.”
13The Lord has chosen Zion.
He wants it for his home.
14“This will be my resting place forever.
Here I will sit enthroned because I want Zion.
15I will certainly bless all that Zion needs.
I will satisfy its needy people with food.
16I will clothe its priests with salvation.
Then its godly ones will sing joyfully.
17There I will make a horn sprout up for David.
I will prepare a lamp for my anointed one.
18I will clothe his enemies with shame,
but the crown on my anointed one will shine.”
