132:1  Remember, Lord, in David’s behalf, All his affliction;
132:2  How he swore to the Lord And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob,
132:3  “I certainly will not enter my house, Nor lie on 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 about it in Ephrathah, We found it in the field of Jaar.
132:7  Let’s go into His dwelling place; Let’s worship at His footstool.
132:8  Arise, Lord, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength.
132:9  May Your priests be clothed with righteousness, And may Your godly ones sing for joy.
132:10  For the sake of Your servant David, Do not turn away the face of Your anointed.
132:11  The Lord has sworn to David A truth from which He will not turn back: “I will set upon your throne one from the fruit of your body.
132:12  If your sons will keep My covenant And My testimony which I will teach them, Their sons also will sit upon your throne forever.”
132:13  For the Lord has chosen Zion; He has desired it as His dwelling place.
132:14  “This is My resting place forever; Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.
132:15  I will abundantly bless her food; I will satisfy her needy with bread.
132:16  I will also clothe her priests with salvation, And her godly ones will sing aloud for joy.
132:17  I will make the horn of David spring forth there; I have prepared a lamp for My anointed.
132:18  I will clothe his enemies with shame, But upon himself his crown will gleam.”
