A Song of Ascents.

132 Yahweh, remember David and all his affliction,
how he swore to Yahweh,
    and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
“Surely I will not come into the structure of my house,
    nor go up into my bed;
I will not give sleep to my eyes,
    or slumber to my eyelids;
until I find out a place for Yahweh,
    a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah.
    We found it in the field of Jaar:
“We will go into his dwelling place.
    We will worship at his footstool.
Arise, Yahweh, into your resting place,
    you, and the ark of your strength.
Let your priests be clothed with righteousness.
    Let your saints shout for joy!”
10 For your servant David’s sake,
    don’t turn away the face of your anointed one.
11 Yahweh has sworn to David in truth.
    He will not turn from it:
    “I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.
12 If your children will keep my covenant,
    my testimony that I will teach them,
    their children also will sit on your throne forever more.”
13 For Yahweh has chosen Zion.
    He has desired it for his habitation.
14 “This is my resting place forever.
    I will live here, for I have desired it.
15 I will abundantly bless her provision.
    I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation.
    Her saints will shout aloud for joy.
17 I will make the horn of David to bud there.
    I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.
18 I will clothe his enemies with shame,
    but on himself, his crown will shine.”

Psalm 132(A)

A Song of Ascents.

O Lord, remember David
    and all his afflictions,
how he swore unto the Lord,
    and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob:
“I will not come into my house,
    nor go up to my bed;
I will not give sleep to my eyes,
    or slumber to my eyelids,
until I find a place for the Lord,
    a dwelling for the mighty God of Jacob.”

We heard of it in Ephrathah;
    we found it in the fields of Jaar.
“We will go to His dwelling place,
    we will worship at His footstool.”
Arise, O Lord, go to Your resting place,
    You and the ark of Your strength.
Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness,
    and let Your godly ones shout for joy.

10 For Your servant David’s sake,
    do not turn away Your anointed king.

11 The Lord has sworn with a sure oath to David
    that He will not turn from it:
“From the fruit of your body
    I will set a son on your throne.
12 If your children will keep My covenant
    and My testimonies that I shall teach them,
then their children shall also sit
    upon your throne forever.”

13 For the Lord has chosen Zion;
    He has desired it for His dwelling:
14 “This is My resting place forever;
    here I will dwell, for I have chosen it.
15 I will abundantly bless her provisions;
    I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation,
    and her godly ones shall shout for joy.

17 “There I will make a horn sprout for David;
    I have prepared a lamp for My anointed one.
18 His enemies I will clothe with shame,
    but on him his crown will shine.”
