Psalms 132

Psalm 132

Prayer for the L ord ’ s Blessing upon the Sanctuary.

¹Remember, Lord, in David’s behalf, All his affliction;

²How he swore to the Lord And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob,

³“I certainly will not enter my house, Nor lie on my bed;

⁴I will not give sleep to my eyes Or slumber to my eyelids,

⁵Until I find a place for the Lord, A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

⁶¶Behold, we heard about it in Ephrathah, We found it in the field of Jaar.

⁷Let’s go into His dwelling place; Let’s worship at His footstool.

⁸Arise, Lord, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength.

⁹May Your priests be clothed with righteousness, And may Your godly ones sing for joy.

¹⁰¶For the sake of Your servant David, Do not turn away the face of Your anointed.

¹¹The Lord has sworn to David A truth from which He will not turn back: “I will set upon your throne one from the fruit of your body.

¹²“If your sons will keep My covenant And My testimony which I will teach them, Their sons also will sit upon your throne forever.”

¹³¶For the Lord has chosen Zion; He has desired it as His dwelling place.

¹⁴“This is My resting place forever; Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.

¹⁵“I will abundantly bless her food; I will satisfy her needy with bread.

¹⁶“I will also clothe her priests with salvation, And her godly ones will sing aloud for joy.

¹⁷“I will make the horn of David spring forth there; I have prepared a lamp for My anointed.

¹⁸“I will clothe his enemies with shame, But upon himself his crown will gleam.”
