Psalm 132
New International Version
Psalm 132(A)
A song of ascents.
1 Lord, remember David
and all his self-denial.(B)
2 He swore an oath to the Lord,
he made a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:(C)
3 “I will not enter my house(D)
or go to my bed,
4 I will allow no sleep to my eyes
or slumber to my eyelids,
5 till I find a place(E) for the Lord,
a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
6 We heard it in Ephrathah,(F)
we came upon it in the fields of Jaar:[a](G)
7 “Let us go to his dwelling place,(H)
let us worship at his footstool,(I) saying,
8 ‘Arise, Lord,(J) and come to your resting place,
you and the ark of your might.
9 May your priests be clothed with your righteousness;(K)
may your faithful people(L) sing for joy.’”
10 For the sake of your servant David,
do not reject your anointed one.
11 The Lord swore an oath to David,(M)
a sure oath he will not revoke:
“One of your own descendants(N)
I will place on your throne.
12 If your sons keep my covenant(O)
and the statutes I teach them,
then their sons will sit
on your throne(P) for ever and ever.”
13 For the Lord has chosen Zion,(Q)
he has desired it for his dwelling,(R) saying,
14 “This is my resting place for ever and ever;(S)
here I will sit enthroned,(T) for I have desired it.
15 I will bless her with abundant provisions;
her poor I will satisfy with food.(U)
16 I will clothe her priests(V) with salvation,
and her faithful people will ever sing for joy.(W)

Davids löfte och Herrens löfte
132 [a]En pilgrimssång.
Herre, tänk på David,
på allt han fick utstå,
2 hur han gav Herren sin ed,
sitt löfte till Jakobs Mäktige:
3 [b]"Jag ska inte gå in i mitt hus,
inte ligga på min bädd,
4 [c]inte unna mina ögon någon sömn
eller mina ögonlock någon vila
5 [d]förrän jag funnit en plats åt Herren,
en boning åt Jakobs Mäktige."
6 [e]Vi hörde det i Efrata,
vi upptäckte det i skogsbygden[f].
7 [g]Låt oss gå in i hans boning,
låt oss tillbe vid hans fotpall.
8 [h]Res dig, Herre,
och kom till din viloplats,
du och din makts ark!
9 Låt dina präster vara klädda
i rättfärdighet
och dina trogna få jubla.
10 [i]För din tjänare Davids skull,
avvisa inte din smorde!
11 [j]Herren har gett David sin ed,
en sann ed som han
inte tar tillbaka:
"En av dina ättlingar[k]
ska jag sätta på din tron.
12 Om dina barn håller mitt förbund
och mitt vittnesbörd
som jag ska lära dem,
då ska också deras barn
sitta på din tron till evig tid."
13 Ja, Herren har utvalt Sion,
där vill han ha sin boning:
14 [l]"Detta är min viloplats till evig tid.
Här ska jag bo, hit längtar jag.
15 Sions förråd ska jag rikligt välsigna,
dess fattiga ska jag mätta med bröd.
16 [m]Dess präster ska jag
klä i frälsning
och dess trogna ska jubla högt.
17 [n]Där ska jag låta ett horn[o] växa upp
åt David,
jag har berett en lampa
åt min smorde.
18 Hans fiender ska jag klä i skam,
men på honom
ska kronan glänsa."

Psalm 132
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,
2 how 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,
4 I will not (E)give sleep to my eyes
or slumber to my eyelids,
5 until I (F)find a place for the Lord,
a dwelling place for (G)the Mighty One of Jacob.”
6 Behold, 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.
9 Let your (O)priests be (P)clothed with righteousness,
and let your (Q)saints shout for joy.
10 For the sake of your servant David,
(R)do not turn away the face of (S)your anointed one.
11 (T)The Lord swore to David a sure oath
(U)from which he will not turn back:
(V)“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 (W)sit on your throne.”
13 For the Lord has (X)chosen Zion;
he has (Y)desired it for his dwelling place:
14 “This is my (Z)resting place forever;
here I will (AA)dwell, for I have desired it.
15 I will abundantly (AB)bless her provisions;
I will (AC)satisfy her poor with bread.
16 Her (AD)priests I will clothe with salvation,
and her (AE)saints will shout for joy.
17 There I will make (AF)a horn to sprout for David;
I have prepared (AG)a lamp for (AH)my anointed.
18 His enemies I will (AI)clothe with shame,
but on him his crown will shine.”
