132:1  A song for going up to worship. Lord, remember David and all his suffering.
132:2  He made a promise to the Lord. He made a promise to the Mighty God of Jacob.
132:3  He said, “I will not go home to my house. I will not lie down on my bed.
132:4  I will not close my eyes or let myself sleep
132:5  until I find a place for the Lord. I want to provide a home for the Mighty God of Jacob.”
132:6  We heard about the Ark of the Covenant in Bethlehem. We found it at Kiriath Jearim.
132:7  Let’s go to the Lord’s house. Let’s worship at his footstool.
132:8  Rise, Lord, and come to your resting place. Come with the Ark of the Covenant that shows your strength.
132:9  May your priests do what is right. May your people sing for joy.
132:10  For the sake of your servant David, do not reject your appointed king.
132:11  The Lord made a promise to David. It was a sure promise that he will not take back. He promised, “I will make one of your descendants rule as king after you.
132:12  But your sons must keep my agreement and the rules that I teach them. Then their sons after them will rule on your throne forever and ever.”
132:13  The Lord has chosen Jerusalem. He wants it for his home.
132:14  He says, “This is my resting place forever. Here is where I want to stay.
132:15  I will bless her with plenty of food. I will fill her poor with food.
132:16  I will let her priests receive salvation. And those who worship me will really sing for joy.
132:17  “I will make a king come from the family of David. I will provide my appointed one descendants to rule after him.
132:18  I will cover his enemies with shame. But his crown will shine.”
