Psalm 132

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

1 Lord, do not forget David and all the hardships he endured.

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

2 Remember, Lord, what he promised, the vow he made to you, the Mighty God of Jacob:

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

3 "I will not go home or go to bed;

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

4 I will not rest or sleep,

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

5 until I provide a place for the Lord, a home for the Mighty God of Jacob."

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

6 In Bethlehem we heard about the Covenant Box, and we found it in the fields of Jearim.

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

7 We said, "Let us go to the Lord's house; let us worship before his throne."

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

8 Come to the Temple, Lord, with the Covenant Box, the symbol of your power, and stay here forever.

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

9 May your priests do always what is right; may your people shout for joy!

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

10 You made a promise to your servant David; do not reject your chosen king, Lord.

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.

11 You made a solemn promise to David - a promise you will not take back: "I will make one of your sons king, and he will rule after you.

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.

12 If your sons are true to my covenant and to the commands I give them, their sons, also, will succeed you for all time as kings."

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

13 The Lord has chosen Zion; he wants to make it his home:

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

14 "This is where I will live forever; this is where I want to rule.

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

15 I will richly provide Zion with all she needs; I will satisfy her poor with food.

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

16 I will bless her priests in all they do, and her people will sing and shout for joy.

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

17 Here I will make one of David's descendants a great king; here I will preserve the rule of my chosen king.

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

18 I will cover his enemies with shame, but his kingdom will prosper and flourish."
