Psalms 132

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 <A Song of the going up.> Lord, give thought to David, and to all his troubles;

2 How he made an oath to the Lord, and gave his word to the great God of Jacob, saying,

3 Truly, I will not come into my house, or go to my bed,

4 I will not give sleep to my eyes, or rest to my eyeballs,

5 Till I have got a place for the Lord, a resting-place for the great God of Jacob.

6 We had news of it at Ephrathah: we came to it in the fields of the wood.

7 Let us go into his tent; let us give worship at his feet.

8 Come back, O Lord, to your resting-place; you and the ark of your strength.

9 Let your priests be clothed with righteousness; and let your saints give cries of joy.

10 Because of your servant David, do not give up your king.

11 The Lord gave a true oath to David, which he will not take back, saying, I will give your kingdom to the fruit of your body.

12 If your children keep my word, and the teachings which I will give them, their children will be rulers of your kingdom for ever.

13 For the Lord's heart is on Zion, desiring it for his resting-place.

14 This is my rest for ever: here will I ever be; for this is my desire.

15 My blessing will be on her food; and her poor will be full of bread.

16 Her priests will be clothed with salvation; and her saints will give cries of joy.

17 There I will make the horn of David fertile: I have made ready a light for my king.

18 His haters will be clothed with shame; but I will make his crown shining.

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.”
