132:1  Yahweh, remember David and all his affliction,
132:2  how he swore to Yahweh, 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 Yahweh, 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, Yahweh, into your resting place; you, and the ark of your strength.
132:9  Let your priest be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!"
132:10  For your servant David's sake, don't turn away the face of your anointed one.
132:11  Yahweh 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 Yahweh 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 saints 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." A Song of Ascents. By David.
