# Chapter 132
|
||
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.” |
