Psalms 132 CSB

«

1. Lord, remember David and all the hardships he endured,

2. and how he swore an oath to the Lord, making a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:

3. “I will not enter my house or get into my bed,

4. I will not allow my eyes to sleep or my eyelids to slumber

5. until I find a place for the Lord, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

6. We heard of the ark in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.

7. Let’s go to his dwelling place; let’s worship at his footstool.

8. Rise up, Lord, come to your resting place, you and your powerful ark.

9. May your priests be clothed with righteousness, and may your faithful people shout for joy.

10. For the sake of your servant David, do not reject your anointed one.

11. The Lord swore an oath to David, a promise he will not abandon: “I will set one of your offspring on your throne.

12. If your sons keep my covenant and my decrees that I will teach them, their sons will also sit on your throne forever.”

13. For the Lord has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his home:

14. “This is my resting place forever; I will make my home here because I have desired it.

15. I will abundantly bless its food; I will satisfy its needy with bread.

16. I will clothe its priests with salvation, and its faithful people will shout for joy.

17. There I will make a horn grow for David; I have prepared a lamp for my anointed one.

18. I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown he wears will be glorious.”
