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.”

(A song for worship.)
The Lord Is Always with His People
1Our Lord, don't forget David
and how he suffered.
2Mighty God of Jacob,
remember how he promised:
3“I won't go home
or crawl into bed
4or close my eyelids,
5until I find a home for you,
the mighty Lord God of Jacob.”

2 Ch 6.41,42. When we were in Ephrath,
we heard that the sacred chest
was somewhere near Jaar.
7Then we said, “Let's go
to the throne of the Lord
and worship at his feet.”
8Come to your new home, Lord,
you and the sacred chest
with all its power.
9Let victory be like robes
for the priests;
let your faithful people
celebrate and shout.
10David is your chosen one,
so don't reject him.

2 S 7.12-16; 1 Ch 17.11-14; Ps 89.3,4; Ac 2.30. You made a solemn promise
to David, when you said,
“I, the Lord, promise
that someone in your family
will always be king.
12If they keep our agreement
and follow my teachings,
then someone in your family
will rule forever.”
13You have gladly chosen Zion
as your home, our Lord.
14You said, “This is my home!
I will live here forever.
15I will bless Zion with food,
and even the poor will eat
until they are full.
16Victory will be like robes
for the priests,
and its faithful people
will celebrate and shout.

1 K 11.36; Ps 18.28. I will give mighty power
to the kingdom of David.
Each of my chosen kings
will shine like a lamp
18and wear a sparkling crown.
But I will disgrace
their enemies.”
