Chapter Text
132:1 A Song of Ascents. Remember, O Yahweh, on David’s behalf, All his affliction;
132:2 How he swore to Yahweh And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob,
132:3 “Surely I will not come into my house, Nor lie in the comfort of my bed;
132:4 I will not give sleep to my eyes Or slumber to my eyelids,
132:5 Until I find a place for Yahweh, A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
132:6 Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah, We found it in the fields of Jaar.
132:7 Let us come into His dwelling place; Let us worship at the footstool of His feet.
132:8 Arise, O Yahweh, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength.
132:9 Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness, And let Your holy ones sing for joy.
132:10 For the sake of David Your servant, Do not turn away the face of Your anointed.
132:11 Yahweh has sworn to David A truth from which He will not turn back: “Of the fruit of your body I will set upon your throne.
132:12 If your sons keep My covenant And My testimony which I will teach them, Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forever.”
132:13 For Yahweh has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His habitation.
132:14 “This is My resting place forever; Here I will inhabit, for I have desired it.
132:15 I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her needy with bread.
132:16 Her priests also I will clothe with salvation, And her holy ones will sing loudly for joy.
132:17 There I will cause the horn of David to spring up; I have prepared a lamp for Mine anointed.
132:18 His enemies I will clothe with shame, But upon him, his crown shall blossom.”
