Psalms 132

Psalm 132 ESV

1David in prayer commendeth unto God his zeal to provide a place for the ark. 8His prayer at the removing of the ark. 11God's promises to David.
A Song of 1Ascents.
1 Remember, O Lord, in David's favor, all 1the hardships he endured,
2 how he swore to the Lord and 1vowed to 2the Mighty One of Jacob,
3 “I will not enter my house or get into my bed,
4 I will not 1give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,
5 until I 1find a place for the Lord, a dwelling place for 2the Mighty One of Jacob.”
6 Behold, we heard of it in 1Ephrathah; we found it in 2the fields of Jaar.
7 “Let us go to his dwelling place; let us 1worship at his 2footstool!”
8 1Arise, O Lord, and go to your 2resting place, you and the ark of your 3might.
9 Let your 1priests be 2clothed with righteousness, and let your 3saints shout for joy.
10 For the sake of your servant David, 1do not turn away the face of 2your anointed one.
11 1The Lord swore to David a sure oath 2from which he will not turn back: 3“One of the sons of your bodya I will set on your throne.
12 If your sons keep my covenant and my testimonies that I shall teach them, their sons also forever shall 1sit on your throne.”
13 For the Lord has 1chosen Zion; he has 2desired it for his dwelling place:
14 “This is my 1resting place forever; here I will 2dwell, for I have desired it.
15 I will abundantly 1bless her provisions; I will 2satisfy her poor with bread.
16 Her 1priests I will clothe with salvation, and her 2saints will shout for joy.
17 There I will make 1a horn to sprout for David; I have prepared 2a lamp for 3my anointed.
18 His enemies I will 1clothe with shame, but on him his crown will shine.”
