132:1  O Lord, remember David and all of his suffering.
132:2  Remember how he swore to the Lord, and how he made a promise to the Powerful One of Jacob:
132:3  “For sure I will not go into my house or lie on my bed,
132:4  or let sleep come and close my eyes,
132:5  until I find a place for the Lord, a house of worship for the Powerful One of Jacob.”
132:6  See, we heard about it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar.
132:7  Let us go into the House of God. Let us worship at His feet.
132:8  Rise up, O Lord. Go to the place where You can rest, You and the special box of the Way of Worship which is Your strength.
132:9  Let Your religious leaders be dressed with what is right and good. And let those who belong to You sing for joy.
132:10  Because of David Your servant, do not turn away from Your chosen one.
132:11  The Lord has made a sure promise to David that He will never break: “I will set upon your throne your own children.
132:12  If your sons will keep My Law and My Word which I will teach them, then their sons will sit upon your throne forever.”
132:13  For the Lord has chosen Zion. He has wanted it for a place to live:
132:14  “This is the place where I can rest forever. Here I will live, for I have wanted it.
132:15  I will give her many good things. I will give her poor people much bread.
132:16  I will dress her religious leaders with saving power. And those in her that belong to Me will sing for joy.
132:17  There I will make the horn of David grow and will make a lamp ready for My chosen one.
132:18  I will dress those who hate him with shame. But the crown on him will shine.”
