Psalms 132

The Eternal Dwelling of God in Zion

A Song of Ascents.

Lord, remember David
And all his afflictions;

A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem.

LORD, remember David
and all that he suffered.

How he swore to the Lord,
And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

He made a solemn promise to the LORD.
He vowed to the Mighty One of Israel,a

“Surely I will not go into the chamber of my house,
Or go up to the comfort of my bed;

“I will not go home;
I will not let myself rest.

I will not give sleep to my eyes
Or slumber to my eyelids,

I will not let my eyes sleep
nor close my eyelids in slumber

Until I find a place for the Lord,
A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

until I find a place to build a house for the LORD,
a sanctuary for the Mighty One of Israel.”

Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah;
We found it in the fields of [a]the woods.

We heard that the Ark was in Ephrathah;
then we found it in the distant countryside of Jaar.

Let us go into His tabernacle;
Let us worship at His footstool.

Let us go to the sanctuary of the LORD;
let us worship at the footstool of his throne.

Arise, O Lord, to Your resting place,
You and the ark of Your strength.

Arise, O LORD, and enter your resting place,
along with the Ark, the symbol of your power.

Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness,
And let Your saints shout for joy.

May your priests be clothed in godliness;
may your loyal servants sing for joy.

For Your servant David’s sake,
Do not turn away the face of Your [b]Anointed.

For the sake of your servant David,
do not reject the king you have anointed.

The Lord has sworn in truth to David;
He will not turn from it:
“I will set upon your throne the [c]fruit of your body.

The LORD swore an oath to David
with a promise he will never take back:
“I will place one of your descendants
on your throne.

If your sons will keep My covenant
And My testimony which I shall teach them,
Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forevermore.”

If your descendants obey the terms of my covenant
and the laws that I teach them,
then your royal line
will continue forever and ever.”

For the Lord has chosen Zion;
He has desired it for His [d]dwelling place:

For the LORD has chosen Jerusalemb;
he has desired it for his home.

“This is My resting place forever;
Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.

“This is my resting place forever,” he said.
“I will live here, for this is the home I desired.

I will abundantly bless her [e]provision;
I will satisfy her poor with bread.

I will bless this city and make it prosperous;
I will satisfy its poor with food.

I will also clothe her priests with salvation,
And her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

I will clothe its priests with godliness;
its faithful servants will sing for joy.

There I will make the [f]horn of David grow;
I will prepare a lamp for My [g]Anointed.

Here I will increase the power of David;
my anointed one will be a light for my people.

His enemies I will clothe with shame,
But upon Himself His crown shall flourish.”

I will clothe his enemies with shame,
but he will be a glorious king.”
