Psalm 132

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

1 <<A Song of Ascents.>> Yahweh, remember David and all his affliction,

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

2 How he swore to Yahweh, And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

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

3 "Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, Nor go up into my bed;

4 I will not rest or sleep,

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

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

5 Until I find out a place for Yahweh, A dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob."

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

6 Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar:

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

7 "We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at his footstool.

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

8 Arise, Yahweh, into your resting place; You, and the ark of your strength.

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

9 Let your priest be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!"

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

10 For your servant David's sake, Don't turn away the face of your anointed one.

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.

11 Yahweh has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: "I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.

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."

12 If your children will keep my covenant, My testimony that I will teach them, Their children also will sit on your throne forevermore."

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

13 For Yahweh has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation.

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

14 "This is my resting place forever. Here I will live, for I have desired it.

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

15 I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread.

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

16 Her priests I will also clothe with salvation. Her saints will shout aloud for joy.

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

17 There I will make the horn of David to bud. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.

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

18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, But on himself, his crown will be resplendant."
