Psalms - Chapter 132 | New International Version

  • 1. {A song of ascents.} O LORD, remember David and all the hardships he endured.
  • 2. He swore an oath to the LORD and made a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:
  • 3. I will not enter my house or go to my bed--
  • 4. I will allow no sleep to my eyes, no slumber to my eyelids,
  • 5. till I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob."
  • 6. We heard it in Ephrathah, we came upon it in the fields of Jaar:
  • 7. Let us go to his dwelling place; let us worship at his footstool--
  • 8. arise, O LORD, and come to your resting place, you and the ark of your might.
  • 9. May your priests be clothed with righteousness; may your saints sing for joy."
  • 10. For the sake of David your servant, do not reject your anointed one.
  • 11. The LORD swore an oath to David, a sure oath that he will not revoke: "One of your own descendants I will place on your throne--
  • 12. if your sons keep my covenant and the statutes I teach them, then their sons will sit on your throne for ever and ever."
  • 13. For the LORD has chosen Zion, he has desired it for his dwelling:
  • 14. This is my resting place for ever and ever; here I will sit enthroned, for I have desired it--
  • 15. I will bless her with abundant provisions; her poor will I satisfy with food.
  • 16. I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints will ever sing for joy.
  • 17. Here I will make a horn grow for David and set up a lamp for my anointed one.
  • 18. I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown on his head will be resplendent."
