📖 Psalms 132
-
1
A song of ascents. O LORD, for David’s sake remember all his strenuous effort,
-
2
and how he made a vow to the LORD, and swore an oath to the Powerful One of Jacob.
-
3
He said,“I will not enter my own home, or get into my bed.
-
4
I will not allow my eyes to sleep, or my eyelids to slumber,
-
5
until I find a place for the LORD, a fine dwelling place for the Powerful One of Jacob.”
-
6
Look, we heard about it in Ephrathah, we found it in the territory of Jaar.
-
7
Let us go to his dwelling place! Let us worship before his footstool!
-
8
Ascend, O LORD, to your resting place, you and the ark of your strength!
-
9
May your priests be clothed with integrity! May your loyal followers shout for joy!
-
10
For the sake of David, your servant, do not reject your chosen king!
-
11
The LORD made a reliable promise to David; he will not go back on his word. He said,“I will place one of your descendants on your throne.
-
12
If your sons keep my covenant and the rules I teach them, their sons will also sit on your throne forever.”
-
13
Certainly the LORD has chosen Zion; he decided to make it his home.
-
14
He said,“This will be my resting place forever; I will live here, for I have chosen it.
-
15
I will abundantly supply what she needs; I will give her poor all the food they need.
-
16
I will protect her priests, and her godly people will shout exuberantly.
-
17
There I will make David strong; I have determined that my chosen king’s dynasty will continue.
-
18
I will humiliate his enemies, and his crown will shine.
