Psalms 132

A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem.

LORD, remember David
and all that he suffered.

The Eternal Dwelling of God in Zion

A Song of Ascents.

Lord, remember David
And all his afflictions;

He made a solemn promise to the LORD.
He vowed to the Mighty One of Israel,a

How he swore to the Lord,
And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

“I will not go home;
I will not let myself rest.

“Surely I will not go into the chamber of my house,
Or go up to the comfort of my bed;

I will not let my eyes sleep
nor close my eyelids in slumber

I will not give sleep to my eyes
Or slumber to my eyelids,

until I find a place to build a house for the LORD,
a sanctuary for the Mighty One of Israel.”

Until I find a place for the Lord,
A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

We heard that the Ark was in Ephrathah;
then we found it in the distant countryside of Jaar.

Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah;
We found it in the fields of [a]the woods.

Let us go to the sanctuary of the LORD;
let us worship at the footstool of his throne.

Let us go into His tabernacle;
Let us worship at His footstool.

Arise, O LORD, and enter your resting place,
along with the Ark, the symbol of your power.

Arise, O Lord, to Your resting place,
You and the ark of Your strength.

May your priests be clothed in godliness;
may your loyal servants sing for joy.

Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness,
And let Your saints shout for joy.

For the sake of your servant David,
do not reject the king you have anointed.

For Your servant David’s sake,
Do not turn away the face of Your [b]Anointed.

The LORD swore an oath to David
with a promise he will never take back:
“I will place one of your descendants
on your throne.

The Lord has sworn in truth to David;
He will not turn from it:
“I will set upon your throne the [c]fruit of your body.

If your descendants obey the terms of my covenant
and the laws that I teach them,
then your royal line
will continue forever and ever.”

If your sons will keep My covenant
And My testimony which I shall teach them,
Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forevermore.”

For the LORD has chosen Jerusalemb;
he has desired it for his home.

For the Lord has chosen Zion;
He has desired it for His [d]dwelling place:

“This is my resting place forever,” he said.
“I will live here, for this is the home I desired.

“This is My resting place forever;
Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.

I will bless this city and make it prosperous;
I will satisfy its poor with food.

I will abundantly bless her [e]provision;
I will satisfy her poor with bread.

I will clothe its priests with godliness;
its faithful servants will sing for joy.

I will also clothe her priests with salvation,
And her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

Here I will increase the power of David;
my anointed one will be a light for my people.

There I will make the [f]horn of David grow;
I will prepare a lamp for My [g]Anointed.

I will clothe his enemies with shame,
but he will be a glorious king.”

His enemies I will clothe with shame,
But upon Himself His crown shall flourish.”
