132:1  Lord, [earnestly] remember to David’s credit all his humiliations and hardships and endurance—
132:2  How he swore to the Lord and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
132:3  Surely I will not enter my dwelling house or get into my bed—
132:4  I will not permit my eyes to sleep or my eyelids to slumber,
132:5  Until I have found a place for the Lord, a habitation for the Mighty One of Jacob.
132:6  Behold, at Ephratah we [first] heard of [the discovered ark]; we found it in the fields of the wood [at Kiriath-jearim].
132:7  Let us go into His tabernacle; let us worship at His footstool.
132:8  Arise, O Lord, to Your resting-place, You and the ark [the symbol] of Your strength.
132:9  Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness (right living and right standing with God); and let Your saints shout for joy!
132:10  For Your servant David’s sake, turn not away the face of Your anointed and reject not Your own king.
132:11  The Lord swore to David in truth; He will not turn back from it: One of the fruit of your body I will set upon your throne.
132:12  If your children will keep My covenant and My testimony that I shall teach them, their children also shall sit upon your throne forever.
132:13  For the Lord has chosen Zion, He has desired it for His habitation:
132:14  This is My resting-place forever [says the Lord]; here will I dwell, for I have desired it.
132:15  I will surely and abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her poor with bread.
132:16  Her priests also will I clothe with salvation, and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
132:17  There will I make a horn spring forth and bud for David; I have ordained and prepared a lamp for My anointed [fulfilling the promises of old].
132:18  His enemies will I clothe with shame, but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
