CHAPTER 132

A Song

of Ascents.

O LORD,

remember

on behalf

of David

all

the hardships he endured,

how

he swore an oath

to the LORD,

and vowed

to the Mighty

One of Jacob:

“I will not

enter

my house

or

get

into

my bed,

I will not

give

sleep

to my eyes

or slumber

to my eyelids,

until

I find

a place

for the LORD,

a dwelling

for the Mighty

One of Jacob.”

We heard

the ark was in Ephrathah;

we found

it in the fields

of Jaar.

Let us go

to His dwelling place;

let us worship

at His footstool.

Arise,

O LORD,

to Your resting place,

You

and the ark

of Your strength.

May Your priests

be clothed

with righteousness,

and Your saints

shout for joy.

For the sake

of Your servant

David,

do not

reject

Your anointed one.

The LORD

swore an oath

to David,

a promise He will not

revoke:

“One of your descendants

I will set

upon your throne.

If

your sons

keep

My covenant

and the testimony

I will teach them,

then their sons

will also

sit

on your throne

forever

and ever.”

For

the LORD

has chosen

Zion;

He has desired

it for His home:

“This

is My resting place

forever

and ever;

here

I will dwell,

for

I have desired this home.

I will bless her

with abundant

provisions;

I will satisfy

her poor

with bread.

I will clothe

her priests

with salvation,

and her saints

will sing out in joy.

There

I will make a horn

grow

for David;

I have prepared

a lamp

for My anointed one.

I will clothe

his enemies

with shame,

but the crown

upon him

will gleam.”
