THE BIBLE

Psalms
Chapter 132


132:1  A Song of Ascents. Yahweh, remember David and all his affliction,

132:2  How he swore to Yahweh, And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

132:3  "Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, Nor go up into my bed;

132:4  I will not give sleep to my eyes, Or slumber to my eyelids;

132:5  Until I find out a place for Yahweh, A dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob."

132:6  Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar:

132:7  "We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at his footstool.

132:8  Arise, Yahweh, into your resting place; You, and the ark of your strength.

132:9  Let your priest be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!"

132:10  For your servant David's sake, Don't turn away the face of your anointed one.

132:11  Yahweh has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: "I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.

132:12  If your children will keep my covenant, My testimony that I will teach them, Their children also will sit on your throne forevermore."

132:13  For Yahweh has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation.

132:14  "This is my resting place forever. Here I will live, for I have desired it.

132:15  I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread.

132:16  Her priests I will also clothe with salvation. Her saints will shout aloud for joy.

132:17  There I will make the horn of David to bud. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.

132:18  I will clothe his enemies with shame, But on himself, his crown will be resplendant."
