Psalms 132
The LORD Has Chosen Zion
A song of ascents.
1how he swore an oath to the LORD, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:2“I will not enter my house or get into my bed,
3I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,
4until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
5We heard that the ark was in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.
6Let us go to His dwelling place; let us worship at His footstool.
7Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength.
8May Your priests be clothed with righteousness, and Your saints shout for joy.
9For the sake of Your servant David, do not reject Your anointed one.
10The LORD swore an oath to David, a promise He will not revoke: “One of your descendants I will place on your throne.
11If your sons keep My covenant and the testimony I will teach them, then their sons will also sit on your throne forever and ever.”
12For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His home:
13“This is My resting place forever and ever; here I will dwell, for I have desired this home.
14I will bless her with abundant provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread.
15I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints will sing out in joy.
16There I will make a horn grow for David; I have prepared a lamp for My anointed one.
17I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown upon him will gleam.”
