132:1  A Song of Ascents. Adonai, remember David, all his afflictions,
132:2  and how he swore to Adonai, vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
132:3  “I will not enter the tent of my house nor lie on my bed,
132:4  nor will I will give sleep to my eyes, nor slumber to my eyelids,
132:5  till I find a place for Adonai, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
132:6  Behold, we heard of it in Ephratha, we found it in the fields of Joar.
132:7  Let us go into His dwelling place, let us bow at His footstool.
132:8  Arise, Adonai, to Your resting place— You, and the Ark of Your might.
132:9  Let Your kohanim wear righteousness, and let Your godly ones sing for joy.
132:10  For Your servant David’s sake do not turn away the face of Your anointed.
132:11  Adonai has sworn to David a true promise He will not revoke: “From the fruit of your body I will set one upon your throne—
132:12  if your children keep My covenant and My law that I will teach them, then their sons will sit on your throne forever.”
132:13  For Adonai has chosen Zion, He has desired it for His dwelling:
132:14  “This is My resting place forever. Here I dwell, for I have desired it.
132:15  I will abundantly bless her food. I will satisfy her needy ones with bread.
132:16  I will clothe her kohanim with salvation, and her godly ones will sing aloud for joy.
132:17  There will I make a horn spring up for David, I have set up a lamp for My anointed.
132:18  His enemies I will clothe with shame, but upon himself his crown will shine.”
