Psalms 132

132
Psalm 132
The Eternal Dwelling of God in Zion
A Song of Ascents.
1O Lord, remember in David’s favor
all the hardships he endured;
2 # Gen 49.24 how he swore 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,
5 # Acts 7.46 until I find a place for the Lord,
a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
6 # 1 Sam 17.12; 1 Chr 13.5 We heard of it in Ephrathah;
we found it in the fields of Jaar.
7 # Ps 5.7; 99.5 “Let us go to his dwelling place;
let us worship at his footstool.”
8 # Num 10.35; 2 Chr 6.41; Ps 78.61 Rise up, O Lord, and go to your resting place,
you and the ark of your might.
9 # Job 29.14; Isa 61.10 Let your priests be clothed with righteousness,
and let your faithful shout for joy.
10For your servant David’s sake
do not turn away the face of your anointed one.
11 # 2 Sam 7.12; 2 Chr 6.16; Ps 89.3, 4 The Lord swore to David a sure oath
from which he will not turn back:
“One of the sons of your body
I will set on your throne.
12 # Lk 1.32; Acts 2.30 If your sons keep my covenant
and my decrees that I shall teach them,
their sons also, forevermore,
shall sit on your throne.”
13 # Ps 48.1, 2; 68.16 For the Lord has chosen Zion;
he has desired it for his habitation:
14“This is my resting place forever;
here I will reside, for I have desired it.
15 # Ps 107.9; 147.14 I will abundantly bless its provisions;
I will satisfy its poor with bread.
16Its priests I will clothe with salvation,
and its faithful will shout for joy.
17 # 1 Kings 11.36; 15.4; 2 Chr 21.7; Ezek 29.21; Lk 1.69 There I will cause a horn to sprout up for David;
I have prepared a lamp for my anointed one.
18 # Ps 35.26; 109.29 His enemies I will clothe with disgrace,
but on him, his crown will gleam.”
