132:1  A Song of Ascents. Remember, O LORD, in David's favor, all the hardships he endured;

132:2  how he swore to the LORD and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob,

132:3  "I will not enter my house or get into my bed;

132:4  I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,

132:5  until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob."

132:6  Lo, we heard of it in Eph'rathah, we found it in the fields of Ja'ar.

132:7  "Let us go to his dwelling place; let us worship at his footstool!"

132:8  Arise, O LORD, and go to thy resting place, thou and the ark of thy might.

132:9  Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness, and let thy saints shout for joy.

132:10  For thy servant David's sake do not turn away the face of thy anointed one.

132:11  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.

132:12  If your sons keep my covenant and my testimonies which I shall teach them, their sons also for ever shall sit upon your throne."

132:13  For the LORD has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his habitation:

132:14  "This is my resting place for ever; here I will dwell, for I have desired it.

132:15  I will abundantly bless her provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread.

132:16  Her priests I will clothe with salvation, and her saints will shout for joy.

132:17  There I will make a horn to sprout for David; I have prepared a lamp for my anointed.

132:18  His enemies I will clothe with shame, but upon himself his crown will shed its luster."
