Psalm 132

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁶ Lo, we heard of it in Eph′rathah,
    we found it in the fields of Ja′ar.
⁷ “Let us go to his dwelling place;
    let us worship at his footstool!”

⁸ Arise, O Lord, and go to thy resting place,
    thou and the ark of thy might.
⁹ Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness,
    and let thy saints shout for joy.
¹⁰ For thy servant David’s sake
    do not turn away the face of thy anointed one.

¹¹ The Lord swore to David a sure oath
    from which he will not turn back:
“One of the sons of your body
    I will set on your throne.
¹² If your sons keep my covenant
    and my testimonies which I shall teach them,
their sons also for ever
    shall sit upon your throne.”

¹³ For the Lord has chosen Zion;
    he has desired it for his habitation:
¹⁴ “This is my resting place for ever;
    here I will dwell, for I have desired it.
¹⁵ I will abundantly bless her provisions;
    I will satisfy her poor with bread.
¹⁶ Her priests I will clothe with salvation,
    and her saints will shout for joy.
¹⁷ There I will make a horn to sprout for David;
    I have prepared a lamp for my anointed.
¹⁸ His enemies I will clothe with shame,
    but upon himself his crown will shed its luster.”
