Psalm 132

Revised Standard Version RSV

1 A Song of Ascents. Remember, O LORD, in David's favor, all the hardships he endured;

2 how he swore to the LORD and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob,

3 "I will not enter my house or get into my bed;

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

5 until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob."

6 Lo, we heard of it in Eph'rathah, we found it in the fields of Ja'ar.

7 "Let us go to his dwelling place; let us worship at his footstool!"

8 Arise, O LORD, and go to thy resting place, thou and the ark of thy might.

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

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

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 keep my covenant and my testimonies which I shall teach them, their sons also for ever shall sit upon your throne."

13 For the LORD has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his habitation:

14 "This is my resting place for ever; here I will dwell, for I have desired it.

15 I will abundantly bless her provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread.

16 Her priests I will clothe with salvation, and her saints will shout for joy.

17 There I will make a horn to sprout for David; I have prepared a lamp for my anointed.

18 His enemies I will clothe with shame, but upon himself his crown will shed its luster."

Good News Translation GNT

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

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

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

4 I will not rest or sleep,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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