132:1 [A Song of Ascents]. Remember, O LORD, on David's behalf, All his affliction; 132:2 How he swore to the LORD, And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob, 132:3 "Surely I will not enter my house, Nor lie on 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 the LORD, A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob." 132:6 Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah; We found it in the field of Jaar. 132:7 Let us go into His dwelling place; Let us worship at His footstool. 132:8 Arise, O LORD, to Thy resting place; Thou and the ark of Thy strength. 132:9 Let Thy priests be clothed with righteousness; And let Thy godly ones sing for joy. 132:10 For the sake of David Thy servant, Do not turn away the face of Thine anointed. 132:11 The LORD 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 will keep My covenant, And My testimony which I will teach them, Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forever." 132:13 For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His habitation. 132:14 "This is My resting place forever; Here I will dwell, 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 godly ones will sing aloud for joy. 132:17 "There I will cause the horn of David to spring forth; I have prepared a lamp for Mine anointed. 132:18 "His enemies I will clothe with shame; But upon himself his crown shall shine."
