Psalm 132:8-18

English Standard Version

^8 (A)Arise, O Lord, and go to your ^(B)resting place,
    you and the ark of your ^(C)might.
⁹ Let your ^(D)priests be ^(E)clothed with righteousness,
    and let your ^(F)saints shout for joy.
¹⁰ For the sake of your servant David,
    ^(G)do not turn away the face of ^(H)your anointed one.

^11 (I)The Lord swore to David a sure oath
    ^(J)from which he will not turn back:
^(K)“One of the sons of your body^[a]
    I will set on your throne.
¹² If your sons keep my covenant
    and my testimonies that I shall teach them,
their sons also forever
    shall ^(L)sit on your throne.”

¹³ For the Lord has ^(M)chosen Zion;
    he has ^(N)desired it for his dwelling place:
¹⁴ “This is my ^(O)resting place forever;
    here I will ^(P)dwell, for I have desired it.
¹⁵ I will abundantly ^(Q)bless her provisions;
    I will ^(R)satisfy her poor with bread.
¹⁶ Her ^(S)priests I will clothe with salvation,
    and her ^(T)saints will shout for joy.
¹⁷ There I will make ^(U)a horn to sprout for David;
    I have prepared ^(V)a lamp for ^(W)my anointed.
¹⁸ His enemies I will ^(X)clothe with shame,
    but on him his crown will shine.”
