Psalm 132

A Song of Ascents.

 ^132:1Yahweh, remember David and all his affliction,

 ^132:2How he swore to Yahweh,
      And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

 ^132:3"Surely I will not come into the structure of my house,
      Nor go up into my bed;

 ^132:4I will not give sleep to my eyes,
      Or slumber to my eyelids;

 ^132:5Until I find out a place for Yahweh,
      A dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob."

 ^132:6Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah.
      We found it in the field of Jaar:

 ^132:7"We will go into his dwelling place.
      We will worship at his footstool.

 ^132:8Arise, Yahweh, into your resting place;
      You, and the ark of your strength.

 ^132:9Let your priest be clothed with righteousness.
      Let your saints shout for joy!"

 ^132:10For your servant David's sake,
      Don't turn away the face of your anointed one.

 ^132:11Yahweh has sworn to David in truth.
      He will not turn from it:
      "I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.

 ^132:12If your children will keep my covenant,
      My testimony that I will teach them,
      Their children also will sit on your throne forevermore."

 ^132:13For Yahweh has chosen Zion.
      He has desired it for his habitation.

 ^132:14"This is my resting place forever.
      Here I will live, for I have desired it.

 ^132:15I will abundantly bless her provision.
      I will satisfy her poor with bread.

 ^132:16Her priests I will also clothe with salvation.
      Her saints will shout aloud for joy.

 ^132:17There I will make the horn of David to bud.
      I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.

 ^132:18I will clothe his enemies with shame,
      But on himself, his crown will be resplendant."
