132:1  A song of ascents. LORD, remember David and all the hardships he endured,
132:2  and how he swore an oath to the LORD, making a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:"
132:3  I will not enter my house or get into my bed,
132:4  I will not allow my eyes to sleep or my eyelids to slumber
132:5  until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob."
132:6  We heard of the ark 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  Rise up, LORD, come to Your resting place, You and Your powerful ark.
132:9  May Your priests be clothed with righteousness, and may Your godly people shout for joy.
132:10  Because of Your servant David, do not reject Your anointed one.
132:11  The LORD swore an oath to David, a promise He will not abandon:" I will set one of your descendants on your throne.
132:12  If your sons keep My covenant and My decrees that I will teach them, their sons will also sit on your throne forever."
132:13  For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His home:"
132:14  This is My resting place forever; I will make My home here because I have desired it.
132:15  I will abundantly bless its food; I will satisfy its needy with bread.
132:16  I will clothe its priests with salvation, and its godly people will shout for joy.
132:17  There I will make a horn grow for David; I have prepared a lamp for My anointed one.
132:18  I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown he wears will be glorious."
