• Psalm 132

  • 1 Lord, remember David and all his self-denial.
  • 2 He swore an oath to the Lord, he made a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:
  • 3 “I will not enter my house or go to my bed,
  • 4 I will allow no sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,
  • 5 till I find a place for the Lord, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
  • 6 We heard it in Ephrathah, we came upon it in the fields of Jaar:
  • 7 “Let us go to his dwelling place, let us worship at his footstool, saying,
  • 8 ‘Arise, Lord, and come to your resting place, you and the ark of your might.
  • 9 May your priests be clothed with your righteousness; may your faithful people sing 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 sure oath he will not revoke: “One of your own descendants I will place on your throne.
  • 12 If your sons keep my covenant and the statutes I teach them, then their sons will sit on your throne for ever and ever.”
  • 13 For the Lord has chosen Zion, he has desired it for his dwelling, saying,
  • 14 “This is my resting place for ever and ever; here I will sit enthroned, for I have desired it.
  • 15 I will bless her with abundant provisions; her poor I will satisfy with food.
  • 16 I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her faithful people will ever sing for joy.
  • 17 “Here I will make a horn grow for David and set up a lamp for my anointed one.
  • 18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, but his head will be adorned with a radiant crown.”
