📖 Psalms 132
-
1
Yahweh, remember David and all his affliction,
-
2
how he swore to Yahweh, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
-
3
"Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, nor go up into my bed;
-
4
I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids;
-
5
until I find out a place for Yahweh, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob."
-
6
Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar:
-
7
"We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at his footstool.
-
8
Arise, Yahweh, into your resting place; you, and the ark of your strength.
-
9
Let your priest be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!"
-
10
For your servant David's sake, don't turn away the face of your anointed one.
-
11
Yahweh has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: "I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.
-
12
If your children will keep my covenant, my testimony that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forevermore."
-
13
For Yahweh has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation.
-
14
"This is my resting place forever. Here I will live, for I have desired it.
-
15
I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread.
-
16
Her priests I will also clothe with salvation. Her saints will shout aloud for joy.
-
17
There I will make the horn of David to bud. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.
-
18
I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will be resplendent." A Song of Ascents. By David.
