LEB - Psalms - 132

132:1  O Yahweh, remember with regard to David all his affliction.

132:2  How he swore to Yahweh, he vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

132:3  “I will not enter into the tent of my house, I will not go up to the couch of my bed,

132:4  I will give no sleep to my eyes, no slumber to my eyelids,

132:5  until I find a place for Yahweh, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

132:6  Look, we heard of it in Ephrathah; we found her in the fields of Jaar.

132:7  Let us go to his dwelling places; Let us worship at his footstool.

132:8  Arise, O Yahweh, to your resting place, you and your mighty ark.

132:9  Let your priests clothe themselves with righteousness, and let your faithful sing for joy.

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

132:11  Yahweh swore in truth to David; he will not turn back from it. “One from the fruit of your ⌞body⌟ I will set on your throne.

132:12  If your sons will heed my covenant and my testimonies that I will teach them, their sons also forever will sit on your throne.”

132:13  For Yahweh has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his habitation.

132:14  “This is my resting place forever; here I will dwell, for I have desired it.

132:15  I will bless its provisions abundantly; I will satisfy its poor with bread.

132:16  I will also clothe its priests with salvation, and its faithful will shout exuberantly for joy.

132:17  There I will cause a horn to grow for David; I will set a lamp for my anointed one.

132:18  I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on him his crown will flourish.”
