132:1  A song of ascents. O Yahweh, remember with regard to David all his affliction.
132:2  How he swore to Yahweh, he vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
132:3  “I will not enter into the tent of my house, I will not go up to the couch of my bed,
132:4  I will give no sleep to my eyes, no slumber to my eyelids,
132:5  until I find a place for Yahweh, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
132:6  Look, we heard of it in Ephrathah; we found her in the fields of Jaar.
132:7  Let us go to his dwelling places; Let us worship at his footstool.
132:8  Arise, O Yahweh, to your resting place, you and your mighty ark.
132:9  Let your priests clothe themselves with righteousness, and let your faithful sing for joy.
132:10  For the sake of your servant David, do not turn away the face of your anointed one.
132:11  Yahweh swore in truth to David; he will not turn back from it. “One from the fruit of your body I will set on your throne.
132:12  If your sons will heed my covenant and my testimonies that I will teach them, their sons also forever will sit on your throne.”
132:13  For Yahweh has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his habitation.
132:14  “This is my resting place forever; here I will dwell, for I have desired it.
132:15  I will bless its provisions abundantly; I will satisfy its poor with bread.
132:16  I will also clothe its priests with salvation, and its faithful will shout exuberantly for joy.
132:17  There I will cause a horn to grow for David; I will set a lamp for my anointed one.
132:18  I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on him his crown will flourish.”
