Psalm 132

A song of ascents.
 ¹ 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^[a]:^[b]
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^[c] 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.”
