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.”

PSALM 132
A Song of degrees.
1Jehovah, remember for David all his affliction; 2How he swore unto Jehovah, vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob: 3I will not come into the tent of my house, I will not go up to the couch of my bed; 4I will not give sleep to mine eyes, slumber to mine eyelids, 5Until I find out a place for Jehovah, habitations for the Mighty One of Jacob. ... 6Behold, we heard of it at Ephratah, we found it in the fields of the wood. 7Let us go into his habitations, let us worship at his footstool. 8Arise, Jehovah, into thy rest, thou and the ark of thy strength. 9Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness, and let thy saints shout for joy. 10For thy servant David's sake, turn not away the face of thine anointed.
11Jehovah hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it: Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne; 12If thy children keep my covenant, and my testimonies which I will teach them, their children also for evermore shall sit upon thy throne. 13For Jehovah hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his dwelling: 14This is my rest for ever; here will I dwell, for I have desired it. 15I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her needy ones with bread; 16And I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints shall shout aloud for joy. 17There will I cause the horn of David to bud forth; I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed. 18His enemies will I clothe with shame; but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
