Psalms 132

Common English Bible CEB

1 LORD, remember David— all the ways he suffered

2 and how he swore to the LORD, how he promised the strong one of Jacob:

3 "I won't enter my house, won't get into my bed.

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

5 until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling place for the strong one of Jacob."

6 Yes, we heard about it in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.

7 Let's enter God's dwelling place; let's worship at the place God rests his feet!

8 Get up, LORD, go to your residence— you and your powerful covenant chest!

9 Let your priests be dressed in righteousness; let your faithful shout out with joy!

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

11 The LORD swore to David a true promise that God won't take back: "I will put one of your own children on your throne.

12 And if your children keep my covenant and the laws that I will teach them, then their children too will rule on your throne forever."

13 Because the LORD chose Zion; he wanted it for his home.

14 "This is my residence forever. I will live here because I wanted it for myself.

15 I will most certainly bless its food supply; I will fill its needy full of food!

16 I will dress its priests in salvation, and its faithful will shout out loud with joy!

17 It is there that I will make David's strength thrive. I will prepare a lamp for my anointed one there.

18 I will dress his enemies in shame, but the crown he wears will shine."

1 O Lord, remember in David's favor all the hardships he endured;

2 how he swore to the Lord and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob,

3 "I will not enter my house or get into my bed;

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

5 until I find a place for the Lord, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob."

6 We heard of it in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.

7 "Let us go to his dwelling place; let us worship at his footstool."

8 Rise up, O Lord, and go to your resting place, you and the ark of your might.

9 Let your priests be clothed with righteousness, and let your faithful shout for joy.

10 For your servant David's sake do not turn away the face of your anointed one.

11 The Lord swore to David a sure oath from which he will not turn back: "One of the sons of your body I will set on your throne.

12 If your sons keep my covenant and my decrees that I shall teach them, their sons also, forevermore, shall sit on your throne."

13 For the Lord has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his habitation:

14 "This is my resting place forever; here I will reside, for I have desired it.

15 I will abundantly bless its provisions; I will satisfy its poor with bread.

16 Its priests I will clothe with salvation, and its faithful will shout for joy.

17 There I will cause a horn to sprout up for David; I have prepared a lamp for my anointed one.

18 His enemies I will clothe with disgrace, but on him, his crown will gleam."
