Psalm 132 :: Revised Standard Version (RSV)

Psa 132:1A Song of Ascents. Remember, O LORD, in David's favor, all the hardships he endured;
Psa 132:2how he swore to the LORD and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob,
Psa 132:3"I will not enter my house or get into my bed;
Psa 132:4I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,
Psa 132:5until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob."
Psa 132:6Lo, we heard of it in Eph'rathah, we found it in the fields of Ja'ar.
Psa 132:7"Let us go to his dwelling place; let us worship at his footstool!"
Psa 132:8Arise, O LORD, and go to thy resting place, thou and the ark of thy might.
Psa 132:9Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness, and let thy saints shout for joy.
Psa 132:10For thy servant David's sake do not turn away the face of thy anointed one.
Psa 132:11The 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.
Psa 132:12If your sons keep my covenant and my testimonies which I shall teach them, their sons also for ever shall sit upon your throne."
Psa 132:13For the LORD has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his habitation:
Psa 132:14"This is my resting place for ever; here I will dwell, for I have desired it.
Psa 132:15I will abundantly bless her provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread.
Psa 132:16Her priests I will clothe with salvation, and her saints will shout for joy.
Psa 132:17There I will make a horn to sprout for David; I have prepared a lamp for my anointed.
Psa 132:18His enemies I will clothe with shame, but upon himself his crown will shed its luster."
