Psalms 132

MSG

ESV

1 O God, remember David, remember all his troubles!
1 Remember, O LORD, in David's favor, all the hardships he endured,
2 And remember how he promised God, made a vow to the Strong God of Jacob,
2 how he swore to the LORD and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob,
3 "I'm not going home, and I'm not going to bed,
3 "I will not enter my house or get into my bed,
4 I'm not going to sleep, not even take time to rest,
4 I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,
5 Until I find a home for God, a house for the Strong God of Jacob."
5 until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob."
6 Remember how we got the news in Ephrathah, learned all about it at Jaar Meadows?
6 Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.
7 We shouted, "Let's go to the shrine dedication! Let's worship at God's own footstool!"
7 "Let us go to his dwelling place; let us worship at his footstool!"
8 Up, God, enjoy your new place of quiet repose, you and your mighty covenant ark;
8 Arise, O LORD, and go to your resting place, you and the ark of your might.
9 Get your priests all dressed up in justice; prompt your worshipers to sing this prayer:
9 Let your priests be clothed with righteousness, and let your saints shout for joy.
10 "Honor your servant David; don't disdain your anointed one."
10 For the sake of your servant David, do not turn away the face of 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;
11 The LORD swore to David a sure oath from which he will not turn back: "One of the sons of your body 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.
12 If your sons keep my covenant and my testimonies that I shall teach them, their sons also forever shall sit on your throne."
13 Yes - I, God, chose Zion, the place I wanted for my shrine;
13 For the LORD has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his dwelling place:
14 This will always be my home; this is what I want, and I'm here for good.
14 "This is my resting place forever; here I will dwell, for I have desired it.
15 I'll shower blessings on the pilgrims who come here, and give supper to those who arrive hungry;
15 I will abundantly bless her provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16 I'll dress my priests in salvation clothes; the holy people will sing their hearts out!
16 Her priests I will clothe with salvation, and her saints will shout for joy.
17 Oh, I'll make the place radiant for David! I'll fill it with light for my anointed!
17 There I will make a horn to sprout for David; I have prepared a lamp for my anointed.
18 I'll dress his enemies in dirty rags, but I'll make his crown sparkle with splendor."
18 His enemies I will clothe with shame, but on him his crown will shine."
