Psalms 132

New Living Translation NLT

1 LORD, remember David and all that he suffered.

2 He made a solemn promise to the LORD . He vowed to the Mighty One of Israel,

3 “I will not go home; I will not let myself rest.

4 I will not let my eyes sleep nor close my eyelids in slumber

5 until I find a place to build a house for the LORD, a sanctuary for the Mighty One of Israel.”

6 We heard that the Ark was in Ephrathah; then we found it in the distant countryside of Jaar.

7 Let us go to the sanctuary of the LORD ; let us worship at the footstool of his throne.

8 Arise, O LORD, and enter your resting place, along with the Ark, the symbol of your power.

9 May your priests be clothed in godliness; may your loyal servants sing for joy.

10 For the sake of your servant David, do not reject the king you have anointed.

11 The LORD swore an oath to David with a promise he will never take back: “I will place one of your descendants on your throne.

12 If your descendants obey the terms of my covenant and the laws that I teach them, then your royal line will continue forever and ever.”

13 For the LORD has chosen Jerusalem ; he has desired it for his home.

14 “This is my resting place forever,” he said. “I will live here, for this is the home I desired.

15 I will bless this city and make it prosperous; I will satisfy its poor with food.

16 I will clothe its priests with godliness; its faithful servants will sing for joy.

17 Here I will increase the power of David; my anointed one will be a light for my people.

18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, but he will be a glorious king.”

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.”
