Psalms 132

New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 Lord, remember David and all of the hard times he went through.

2 Lord, he took an oath. Mighty One of Jacob, he made a promise to you.

3 He said, "I won't enter my house or go to bed.

4 I won't let my eyes sleep. I won't close my eyelids

5 until I find a place for the Lord. I want to build a house for the Mighty One of Jacob."

6 Here are the words we heard in Ephrathah. We heard them again in the fields of Kiriath Jearim.

7 "Let us go to the LORD's house. Let us worship at his feet.

8 Lord, rise up and come to your resting place. Come in together with the ark. It's the sign of your power.

9 May your priests put on godliness as if it were their clothes. May your faithful people sing with joy."

10 In honor of your servant David, don't turn your back on your anointed king.

11 The LORD took an oath and made a promise to David. It is a firm promise that he will never break. He said, "After you die, I will place one of your own sons on your throne.

12 If your sons keep my covenant and the laws I teach them, then their sons will sit on your throne for ever and ever."

13 The LORD has chosen Zion. That's the place where he wants to live.

14 He has said, "This will be my resting place for ever and ever. Here I will sit on my throne, because that's what I want.

15 I will greatly bless Zion with everything it needs. I will give plenty of food to the poor people living there.

16 I will put salvation on its priests as if it were their clothes. God's faithful people will always sing with joy.

17 "Here in Jerusalem I will raise up a mighty king from the family of David. I will set up the lamp of David's kingdom for my anointed king. Its flame will burn brightly forever.

18 I will put shame on his enemies as if it were their clothes. But the royal crown he wears will shine with glory."

New International Version NIV

1 LORD, remember David and all his self-denial.

2 He swore an oath to the LORD, he made a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:

3 “I will not enter my house or go to my bed,

4 I will allow no sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,

5 till I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

6 We heard it in Ephrathah, we came upon it in the fields of Jaar:

7 “Let us go to his dwelling place, let us worship at his footstool, saying,

8 ‘Arise, LORD, and come to your resting place, you and the ark of your might.

9 May your priests be clothed with your righteousness; may your faithful people sing for joy.’ ”

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

11 The LORD swore an oath to David, a sure oath he will not revoke: “One of your own descendants I will place on your throne.

12 If your sons keep my covenant and the statutes I teach them, then their sons will sit on your throne for ever and ever.”

13 For the LORD has chosen Zion, he has desired it for his dwelling, saying,

14 “This is my resting place for ever and ever; here I will sit enthroned, for I have desired it.

15 I will bless her with abundant provisions; her poor I will satisfy with food.

16 I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her faithful people will ever sing for joy.

17 “Here I will make a horn grow for David and set up a lamp for my anointed one.

18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, but his head will be adorned with a radiant crown.”
