Psalm 132:13-18

New Living Translation

¹³ For the Lord has chosen Jerusalem^[a];
    he has desired it for his home.
¹⁴ “This is my resting place forever,” he said.
    “I will live here, for this is the home I desired.
¹⁵ I will bless this city and make it prosperous;
    I will satisfy its poor with food.
¹⁶ I will clothe its priests with godliness;
    its faithful servants will sing for joy.
¹⁷ Here I will increase the power of David;
    my anointed one will be a light for my people.
¹⁸ I will clothe his enemies with shame,
    but he will be a glorious king.”
