Psalm 132
132
The Lord Has Chosen Zion
A Song of #[See Ps. 120, title]Ascents.
1Remember, O Lord, in David’s favor,
all #1 Chr. 22:14the hardships he endured,
2how he swore to the Lord
and #Ps. 50:14 vowed to #ver. 5; Gen. 49:24; Isa. 49:26; 60:16the Mighty One of Jacob,
3“I will not enter my house
or get into my bed,
4I will not #Prov. 6:4give sleep to my eyes
or slumber to my eyelids,
5until I #1 Chr. 22:7; Acts 7:46 find a place for the Lord,
a dwelling place for #[See ver. 2 above]the Mighty One of Jacob.”
6Behold, we heard of it in #1 Sam. 17:12; [Gen. 35:19] Ephrathah;
we found it in #[1 Sam. 7:1]the fields of Jaar.
7“Let us go to his dwelling place;
let us #Ps. 5:7 worship at his #See Ps. 99:5footstool!”
8 #
Ps. 68:1; 2 Chr. 6:41, 42 Arise, O Lord, and go to your #ver. 14 resting place,
you and the ark of your #Ps. 78:61might.
9Let your #ver. 16 priests be #See Job 29:14 clothed with righteousness,
and let your #[Ps. 149:5]saints shout for joy.
10For the sake of your servant David,
# [2 Kgs. 18:24] do not turn away the face of #ver. 17; [1 Kgs. 1:39]your anointed one.
11 #
Ps. 89:3, 34 The Lord swore to David a sure oath
#
Ps. 110:4 from which he will not turn back:
#
2 Sam. 7:12; 2 Chr. 6:16; Luke 1:32; Acts 2:30 “One of the sons of your body#132:11 Hebrew of your fruit of the womb
I will set on your throne.
12If your sons keep my covenant
and my testimonies that I shall teach them,
their sons also forever
shall #1 Kgs. 8:25; [Job 36:7]sit on your throne.”
13For the Lord has #Ps. 78:68; [Ps. 135:21] chosen Zion;
he has #See Ps. 68:16desired it for his dwelling place:
14“This is my #ver. 8 resting place forever;
here I will #Matt. 23:21dwell, for I have desired it.
15I will abundantly #Ps. 147:14 bless her provisions;
I will #Ruth 1:6satisfy her poor with bread.
16Her #ver. 9priests I will clothe with salvation,
and her #ver. 9saints will shout for joy.
17There I will make #Ezek. 29:21; [Luke 1:69] a horn to sprout for David;
I have prepared #1 Kgs. 11:36; 15:4; 2 Kgs. 8:19; 2 Chr. 21:7 a lamp for #ver. 10my anointed.
18His enemies I will #See Job 8:22clothe with shame,
but on him his crown will shine.”

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.”
