Chapter 132.
|
||
A Song of Ascents. LORD, remember David and all his affliction,
|
||
how he swore to the LORD, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
|
||
“Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, nor go up into my bed;
|
||
I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids,
|
||
until I find out a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
|
||
Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar.
|
||
“We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at his footstool.”
|
||
Arise, LORD, into your resting place, you, and the ark of your strength.
|
||
Let your priests be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!
|
||
For your servant David’s sake, don’t turn away the face of your anointed one.
|
||
The LORD has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: “I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.
|
||
If your children will keep my covenant, my testimony that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forever more.”
|
||
For the LORD has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation.
|
||
“This is my resting place forever. I will live here, for I have desired it.
|
||
I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread.
|
||
I will also clothe her priests with salvation. Her saints will shout aloud for joy.
|
||
I will make the horn of David to bud there. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.
|
||
I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will shine.”
