Psalm 132:1-10

English Standard Version

The Lord Has Chosen Zion

A Song of ^(A)Ascents.

132 Remember, O Lord, in David's favor,
    all ^(B)the hardships he endured,
²how he swore to the Lord
    and ^(C)vowed to ^(D)the Mighty One of Jacob,
³“I will not enter my house
    or get into my bed,
⁴I will not ^(E)give sleep to my eyes
    or slumber to my eyelids,
⁵until I ^(F)find a place for the Lord,
    a dwelling place for ^(G)the Mighty One of Jacob.”

⁶Behold, we heard of it in ^(H)Ephrathah;
we found it in ^(I)the fields of Jaar.
⁷“Let us go to his dwelling place;
let us ^(J)worship at his ^(K)footstool!”

⁸^(L)Arise, O Lord, and go to your ^(M)resting place,
    you and the ark of your ^(N)might.
⁹Let your ^(O)priests be ^(P)clothed with righteousness,
    and let your ^(Q)saints shout for joy.
¹⁰For the sake of your servant David,
    ^(R)do not turn away the face of ^(S)your anointed one.
