WMB: Psalms 132

=> Chapters

A Song of Ascents.

[1] LORD, remember David and all his affliction,

[2] how he swore to the LORD,

and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

[3] “Surely I will not come into the structure of my house,

nor go up into my bed;

[4] I will not give sleep to my eyes,

or slumber to my eyelids,

[5] until I find out a place for the LORD,

a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

[6] Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah.

We found it in the field of Jaar.

[7] “We will go into his dwelling place.

We will worship at his footstool.”

[8] Arise, LORD, into your resting place,

you, and the ark of your strength.

[9] Let your priests be clothed with righteousness.

Let your holy ones shout for joy!

[10] For your servant David’s sake,

don’t turn away the face of your anointed one.

[11] The LORD has sworn to David in truth.

He will not turn from it:

“I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.

[12] If your children will keep my covenant,

my testimony that I will teach them,

their children also will sit on your throne forever more.”

[13] For the LORD has chosen Zion.

He has desired it for his habitation.

[14] “This is my resting place forever.

I will live here, for I have desired it.

[15] I will abundantly bless her provision.

I will satisfy her poor with bread.

[16] I will also clothe her priests with salvation.

Her holy ones will shout aloud for joy.

[17] I will make the horn of David to bud there.

I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.

[18] I will clothe his enemies with shame,

but on himself, his crown will shine.”
