Psalms 132

VIN(i) 1 [A song of ascents.] LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions: 2 Remember how he swore an oath to the LORD and made this vow to the Mighty One of Jacob. 3 "I will not enter my house, or lie down on my bed, 4 I will give no sleep to my eyes, no slumber to my eyelids, 5 until I find out a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob." 6 We heard about it in Ephrata; we found it in the fields of Jaar. 7 Let us go to his dwelling place. Let us worship at his footstool. 8 Arise, LORD, and go to your resting place, you and the ark of your strength. 9 Let your priests be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!” 10 For the sake of your servant David do not reject your anointed one. 11 The LORD made an oath to David from which he will not retreat: "One of your sons I will set in place on your throne. 12 If your sons keep my covenant and my statutes that I will teach them, then their sons will also sit on your throne forever." 13 For the LORD has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his dwelling. 14 "This is my resting place forever. Here I will live, for I have desired it. 15 I will bless its provisions abundantly; I will satiate its poor with food.f 16 And I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints shall shout aloud for joy. 17 There I will cause a horn to grow for David; I will set a lamp for my anointed one. 18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will be resplendent."
