Chapter 132World English Bible
Berean Standard Bible
1LORD, remember David and all his affliction,
O LORD, remember on behalf of David all the hardships he endured,
2how he swore to the LORD, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
how he swore an oath to the LORD, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3“Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, nor go up into my bed;
“I will not enter my house or get into my bed,
4I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids,
I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,
5until I find out a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
6Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar.
We heard that the ark was in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.
7“We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at his footstool.”
Let us go to His dwelling place; let us worship at His footstool.
8Arise, LORD, into your resting place, you, and the ark of your strength.
Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength.
9Let your priests be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!
May Your priests be clothed with righteousness, and Your saints shout for joy.
10For your servant David’s sake, don’t turn away the face of your anointed one.
For the sake of Your servant David, do not reject Your anointed one.
11The LORD has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: “I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.
The LORD swore an oath to David, a promise He will not revoke: “One of your descendants I will place on your throne.
12If your children will keep my covenant, my testimony that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forever more.”
If your sons keep My covenant and the testimony I will teach them, then their sons will also sit on your throne forever and ever.”
13For the LORD has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation.
For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His home:
14“This is my resting place forever. I will live here, for I have desired it.
“This is My resting place forever and ever; here I will dwell, for I have desired this home.
15I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread.
I will bless her with abundant provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16I will also clothe her priests with salvation. Her saints will shout aloud for joy.
I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints will sing out in joy.
17I will make the horn of David to bud there. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.
There I will make a horn grow for David; I have prepared a lamp for My anointed one.
18I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will shine.”
I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown upon him will gleam.”
