132:1  A Song of Ascents. Remember, O Lord, in David's favour, all the hardships he endured,
132:2  how he swore to the Lord and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob,
132:3  “I will not enter my house or get into 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 the Lord, 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 go to his dwelling place; let us worship at his footstool!”
132:8  Arise, O Lord, and go to your resting-place, you and the ark of your might.
132:9  Let your priests be clothed with righteousness, and let your saints shout for joy.
132:10  For the sake of your servant David, do not turn away the face of your anointed one.
132:11  The Lord swore to David a sure oath from which he will not turn back: “One of the sons of your body I will set on your throne.
132:12  If your sons keep my covenant and my testimonies that I shall teach them, their sons also for ever shall sit on your throne.”
132:13  For the Lord has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his dwelling place:
132:14  “This is my resting-place for ever; here I will dwell, for I have desired it.
132:15  I will abundantly bless her provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread.
132:16  Her priests I will clothe with salvation, and her saints will shout for joy.
132:17  There I will make a horn to sprout for David; I have prepared a lamp for my anointed.
132:18  His enemies I will clothe with shame, but on him his crown will shine.”
