Psalms 132

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

Jehovah, remember for David all his affliction,

2 how he swore to Yahweh, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

how he swore to Jehovah, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

3 “Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, nor go up into my bed;

Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed,

4 I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids,

I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids,

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

until I find out a place for Jehovah, a tabernacle for the Mighty One of Jacob.

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

Lo, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of the wood.

7 “We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at his footstool.”

We will go into his tabernacles. We will worship at his footstool.

8 Arise, Yahweh, into your resting place, you, and the ark of your strength.

Arise, O Jehovah, into thy resting-place, thou, and the ark of thy strength.

9 Let your priests be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!

Let thy priest be clothed with righteousness, and let thy sanctified shout for joy.

10 For your servant David’s sake, don’t turn away the face of your anointed one.

For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.

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.

Jehovah has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: From the fruit of thy body I will set upon thy throne.

12 If your children will keep my covenant, my testimony that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forever more.”

If thy sons will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their sons also shall sit upon thy throne for evermore.

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

For Jehovah has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation.

14 “This is my resting place forever. I will live here, for I have desired it.

This is my resting place forever. Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.

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

I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread.

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

I will also clothe her priests with salvation, and her sanctified shall shout aloud for joy.

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

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

18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will shine.”

I will clothe his enemies with shame, but upon himself his crown shall flourish.
