Psalms 132

1 A Song of degrees. LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions:

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

2 How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;

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

3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;

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

4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,

4 I will not rest or sleep,

5 Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.

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

6 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found 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 We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.

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

8 Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.

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

9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.

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

10 For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.

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

11 The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.

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 thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.

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 hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.

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

14 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.

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

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

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

16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

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

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

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 enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.

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