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.”
