# Chapter 132
|
|
1. Remember, O LORD, in David's favor,
|
|
all the hardships he endured,
|
|
|
|
2. how he swore to the LORD
|
|
and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob,
|
|
|
|
3. "I will not enter my house
|
|
or get into my bed,
|
|
|
|
4. I will not give sleep to my eyes
|
|
or slumber to my eyelids,
|
|
|
|
5. until I find a place for the LORD,
|
|
a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob."
|
|
|
|
6. Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah;
|
|
we found it in the fields of Jaar.
|
|
|
|
7. "Let us go to his dwelling place;
|
|
let us worship at his footstool!"
|
|
|
|
8. Arise, O LORD, and go to your resting place,
|
|
you and the ark of your might.
|
|
|
|
9. Let your priests be clothed with righteousness,
|
|
and let your saints shout for joy.
|
|
|
|
10. For the sake of your servant David,
|
|
do not turn away the face of your anointed one.
|
|
|
|
11. The LORD swore to David a sure oath
|
|
from which he will not turn back:
|
|
"One of the sons of your body
|
|
I will set on your throne.
|
|
|
|
12. If your sons keep my covenant
|
|
and my testimonies that I shall teach them,
|
|
their sons also forever
|
|
shall sit on your throne."
|
|
|
|
13. For the LORD has chosen Zion;
|
|
he has desired it for his dwelling place:
|
|
|
|
14. "This is my resting place forever;
|
|
here I will dwell, for I have desired it.
|
|
|
|
15. I will abundantly bless her provisions;
|
|
I will satisfy her poor with bread.
|
|
|
|
16. Her priests I will clothe with salvation,
|
|
and her saints will shout for joy.
|
|
|
|
17. There I will make a horn to sprout for David;
|
|
I have prepared a lamp for my anointed.
|
|
|
|
18. His enemies I will clothe with shame,
|
|
but on him his crown will shine."
