A Song of the Ascents.
132 O Jehovah, remember David
And all his suffering;+
2 How he swore to Jehovah,
How he vowed to the Powerful One of Jacob:+
3 “I will not go into my tent, my home.+
I will not lie upon my couch, my bed;
4 I will not allow my eyes to sleep,
Nor my eyelids to slumber
5 Until I find a place for Jehovah,
A fine residence for the Powerful One of Jacob.”+
6 Look! We heard about it in Ephʹra·thah;+
We found it in the fields of the forest.+
7 Let us come into his residence;+
Let us bow down at his footstool.+
8 Rise up, O Jehovah, to come to your resting-place,+
You and the Ark of your strength.+
9 May your priests be clothed with righteousness,
And may your loyal ones shout joyfully.
10 For the sake of David your servant,
Do not reject your anointed one.+
11 Jehovah has sworn to David;
He will surely not go back on his word:
“One of your offspring,
I will place on your throne.+
12 If your sons keep my covenant
And my reminders that I teach them,+
Their sons too
Will sit on your throne forever.”+
13 For Jehovah has chosen Zion;+
He has desired it for his dwelling place:+
14 “This is my resting-place forever;
Here I will dwell,+ for this is my desire.
15 I will richly bless it with provisions;
I will satisfy its poor with bread.+
16 Its priests I will clothe with salvation,+
And its loyal ones will shout joyfully.+
17 There I will make the strength of David grow.
I have prepared a lamp for my anointed one.+
18 I will clothe his enemies with shame,
But the crown on his head will flourish.”+
