Psalm 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."

The Message Bible MSG

1 O God, remember David, remember all his troubles!

2 And remember how he promised God, made a vow to the Strong God of Jacob,

3 "I'm not going home, and I'm not going to bed,

4 I'm not going to sleep, not even take time to rest,

5 Until I find a home for God, a house for the Strong God of Jacob."

6 Remember how we got the news in Ephrathah, learned all about it at Jaar Meadows?

7 We shouted, "Let's go to the shrine dedication! Let's worship at God's own footstool!"

8 Up, God, enjoy your new place of quiet repose, you and your mighty covenant ark;

9 Get your priests all dressed up in justice; prompt your worshipers to sing this prayer:

10 "Honor your servant David; don't disdain your anointed one."

11 God gave David his word, he won't back out on this promise: "One of your sons I will set on your throne;

12 If your sons stay true to my Covenant and learn to live the way I teach them, Their sons will continue the line - always a son to sit on your throne.

13 Yes - I, God, chose Zion, the place I wanted for my shrine;

14 This will always be my home; this is what I want, and I'm here for good.

15 I'll shower blessings on the pilgrims who come here, and give supper to those who arrive hungry;

16 I'll dress my priests in salvation clothes; the holy people will sing their hearts out!

17 Oh, I'll make the place radiant for David! I'll fill it with light for my anointed!

18 I'll dress his enemies in dirty rags, but I'll make his crown sparkle with splendor."
