Psalm 132

1 O God, remember David, remember all his troubles!
1 <<A Song of Ascents.>> Yahweh, remember David and all his affliction,
2 And remember how he promised God, made a vow to the Strong God of Jacob,
2 How he swore to Yahweh, And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3 "I'm not going home, and I'm not going to bed,
3 "Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, Nor go up 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 out a place for Yahweh, A dwelling 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 field of Jaar:
7 We shouted, "Let's go to the shrine dedication! Let's worship at God's own footstool!"
7 "We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at his footstool.
8 Up, God, enjoy your new place of quiet repose, you and your mighty covenant ark;
8 Arise, Yahweh, into your resting place; You, and the ark of your strength.
9 Get your priests all dressed up in justice; prompt your worshipers to sing this prayer:
9 Let your priest be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!"
10 "Honor your servant David; don't disdain your anointed one."
10 For your servant David's sake, Don't 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 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 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 children will keep my covenant, My testimony that I will teach them, Their children also will sit on your throne forevermore."
13 Yes - I, God, chose Zion, the place I wanted for my shrine;
13 For Yahweh has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation.
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 live, 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 provision. 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 also clothe with salvation. Her saints will shout aloud 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 the horn of David to bud. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.
18 I'll dress his enemies in dirty rags, but I'll make his crown sparkle with splendor."
18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, But on himself, his crown will be resplendant."
