Psalm 132

New Living Translation NLT

1 LORD, remember David and all that he suffered.

2 He made a solemn promise to the LORD . He vowed to the Mighty One of Israel,

3 “I will not go home; I will not let myself rest.

4 I will not let my eyes sleep nor close my eyelids in slumber

5 until I find a place to build a house for the LORD, a sanctuary for the Mighty One of Israel.”

6 We heard that the Ark was in Ephrathah; then we found it in the distant countryside of Jaar.

7 Let us go to the sanctuary of the LORD ; let us worship at the footstool of his throne.

8 Arise, O LORD, and enter your resting place, along with the Ark, the symbol of your power.

9 May your priests be clothed in godliness; may your loyal servants sing for joy.

10 For the sake of your servant David, do not reject the king you have anointed.

11 The LORD swore an oath to David with a promise he will never take back: “I will place one of your descendants on your throne.

12 If your descendants obey the terms of my covenant and the laws that I teach them, then your royal line will continue forever and ever.”

13 For the LORD has chosen Jerusalem ; he has desired it for his home.

14 “This is my resting place forever,” he said. “I will live here, for this is the home I desired.

15 I will bless this city and make it prosperous; I will satisfy its poor with food.

16 I will clothe its priests with godliness; its faithful servants will sing for joy.

17 Here I will increase the power of David; my anointed one will be a light for my people.

18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, but he will be a glorious king.”

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."
