Psalms - Chapter 132

¹ [Song of Ascents] Yahweh, remember David and all the hardships he endured,

² the oath he swore to Yahweh, his vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:

³ 'I will not enter tent or house, will not climb into bed,

⁴ will not allow myself to sleep, not even to close my eyes,

⁵ till I have found a place for Yahweh, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob!'

⁶ Listen, we heard of it in Ephrathah, we found it at Forest-Fields.

⁷ Let us go into his dwelling-place, and worship at his footstool.

⁸ Go up, Yahweh, to your resting-place, you and the ark of your strength.

⁹ Your priests are robed in saving justice, your faithful are shouting for joy.

¹⁰ For the sake of your servant David, do not reject your anointed.

¹¹ Yahweh has sworn to David, and will always remain true to his word, 'I promise that I will set a son of yours upon your throne.

¹² If your sons observe my covenant and the instructions I have taught them, their sons too for evermore will occupy your throne.'

¹³ For Yahweh has chosen Zion, he has desired it as a home.

¹⁴ 'Here shall I rest for evermore, here shall I make my home as I have wished.

¹⁵ 'I shall generously bless her produce, give her needy their fill of food,

¹⁶ I shall clothe her priests with salvation, and her faithful will sing aloud for joy.

¹⁷ 'There I shall raise up a line of descendants for David, light a lamp for my anointed;

¹⁸ I shall clothe his enemies with shame, while his own crown shall flourish.'
