Psalm 132
A pilgrimage song.
1 LORD, remember David—
all the ways he suffered
2and how he swore to the LORD,
how he promised the strong one of Jacob:
3“I won’t enter my house,
won’t get into my bed.
4I won’t let my eyes close,
won’t let my eyelids sleep,
5until I find a place for the LORD,
a dwelling place for the strong one of Jacob.”
6Yes, we heard about it in Ephrathah;
we found it#132.6 It may refer to the covenant chest (132:8b). in the fields of Jaar.
7Let’s enter God’s dwelling place;
let’s worship at the place God rests his feet!
8Get up, LORD, go to your residence—
you and your powerful covenant chest!
9Let your priests be dressed in righteousness;
let your faithful shout out with joy!
10And for the sake of your servant David,
do not reject your anointed one.
11The LORD swore to David
a true promise that God won’t take back:
“I will put one of your own children on your throne.
12And if your children keep my covenant
and the laws that I will teach them,
then their children too will rule on your throne forever.”
13Because the LORD chose Zion;
he wanted it for his home.
14“This is my residence forever.
I will live here because I wanted it for myself.#132.14 Heb lacks for myself.
15I will most certainly bless its food supply;
I will fill its needy full of food!
16I will dress its priests in salvation,
and its faithful will shout out loud with joy!
17It is there that I will make David’s strength thrive.#132.17 Or make a horn sprout
I will prepare a lamp for my anointed one there.
18I will dress his enemies in shame,
but the crown he wears will shine.”

Psalms 132
132
Promise of Ben-David
1A Song of Ascents. Adonai, remember David, all his afflictions,
2and how he swore to Adonai, vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3“I will not enter the tent of my house nor lie on my bed,
4nor will I will give sleep to my eyes, nor slumber to my eyelids,
5till I find a place for Adonai, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
6Behold, we heard of it in Ephratha, we found it in the fields of Joar.
7Let us go into His dwelling place, let us bow at His footstool.
8Arise, Adonai, to Your resting place— You, and the Ark of Your might.
9Let Your kohanim wear righteousness, and let Your godly ones sing for joy.
10For Your servant David’s sake do not turn away the face of Your anointed.
11Adonai has sworn to David a true promise He will not revoke: “From the fruit of your body I will set one upon your throne—
12if your children keep My covenant and My law that I will teach them, then their sons will sit on your throne forever.”
13For Adonai has chosen Zion, He has desired it for His dwelling:
14“This is My resting place forever. Here I dwell, for I have desired it.
15I will abundantly bless her food. I will satisfy her needy ones with bread.
16I will clothe her kohanim with salvation, and her godly ones will sing aloud for joy.
17There will I make a horn spring up for David, I have set up a lamp for My anointed.
18His enemies I will clothe with shame, but upon himself his crown will shine.”
