NHEB - Psalms - 132

132:1  Lord, remember David and all his affliction,

132:2  how he swore to the Lord, 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 the Lord, 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, Lord, into your resting place; you, and the ark of your strength.

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

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

132:11  The Lord 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 the Lord 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 holy ones 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 resplendent."
