132:1  A Song of Ascents. Remember, O Yahweh, on David’s behalf, 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 my house, Nor lie in the comfort of my bed;
132:4  I will not give sleep to my eyes Or slumber to my eyelids,
132:5  Until I find a place for Yahweh, A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
132:6  Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah, We found it in the fields of Jaar.
132:7  Let us come into His dwelling place; Let us worship at the footstool of His feet.
132:8  Arise, O Yahweh, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength.
132:9  Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness, And let Your holy ones sing for joy.
132:10  For the sake of David Your servant, Do not turn away the face of Your anointed.
132:11  Yahweh has sworn to David A truth from which He will not turn back: “Of the fruit of your body I will set upon your throne.
132:12  If your sons keep My covenant And My testimony which I will teach them, Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forever.”
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 inhabit, for I have desired it.
132:15  I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her needy with bread.
132:16  Her priests also I will clothe with salvation, And her holy ones will sing loudly for joy.
132:17  There I will cause the horn of David to spring up; I have prepared a lamp for Mine anointed.
132:18  His enemies I will clothe with shame, But upon him, his crown shall blossom.”
