132:1  A song of ascents. LORD, remember David and all his self-denial.
132:2  He swore an oath to the LORD, he made a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:
132:3  "I will not enter my house or go to my bed,
132:4  I will allow no sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,
132:5  till I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob."
132:6  We heard it in Ephrathah, we came upon it in the fields of Jaar:
132:7  "Let us go to his dwelling place, let us worship at his footstool, saying,
132:8  Arise, LORD, and come to your resting place, you and the ark of your might.
132:9  May your priests be clothed with your righteousness; may your faithful people sing for joy.'"
132:10  For the sake of your servant David, do not reject your anointed one.
132:11  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.
132:12  If your sons keep my covenant and the statutes I teach them, then their sons will sit on your throne for ever and ever."
132:13  For the LORD has chosen Zion, he has desired it for his dwelling, saying,
132:14  "This is my resting place for ever and ever; here I will sit enthroned, for I have desired it.
132:15  I will bless her with abundant provisions; her poor I will satisfy with food.
132:16  I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her faithful people will ever sing for joy.
132:17  "Here I will make a horn grow for David and set up a lamp for my anointed one.
132:18  I will clothe his enemies with shame, but his head will be adorned with a radiant crown."
