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."

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 O LORD, remember David and all the hardships he endured.

2 Remember how he swore an oath to the LORD and made this vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:

3 "I will not step inside my house,

4 get into my bed, shut my eyes, or close my eyelids

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

6 Now, we have heard about the ark [of the promise] being in Ephrathah. We have found it in Jaar.

7 Let's go to his dwelling place. Let's worship at his footstool.

8 O LORD, arise, and come to your resting place with the ark of your power.

9 Clothe your priests with righteousness. Let your godly ones sing with joy.

10 For the sake of your servant David, do not reject your anointed one.

11 The LORD swore an oath to David. This is a truth he will not take back: "I will set one of your own descendants on your throne.

12 If your sons are faithful to my promise and my written instructions that I will teach them, then their descendants will also sit on your throne forever."

13 The LORD has chosen Zion. He wants it for his home.

14 "This will be my resting place forever. Here I will sit enthroned because I want Zion.

15 I will certainly bless all that Zion needs. I will satisfy its needy people with food.

16 I will clothe its priests with salvation. Then its godly ones will sing joyfully.

17 There I will make a horn sprout up for David. I will prepare a lamp for my anointed one.

18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown on my anointed one will shine."
