Psalm 132:title–18

A Song of Ascents.

¹Lord, remember David

And all his afflictions;

²How he swore to the Lord,

^aAnd vowed to ^bthe Mighty One of Jacob:

³“Surely I will not go into the chamber of my house,

Or go up to the comfort of my bed;

⁴I will ^cnot give sleep to my eyes

Or slumber to my eyelids,

⁵Until I ^dfind a place for the Lord,

A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

⁶Behold, we heard of it ^ein Ephrathah;

^fWe found it ^gin the fields of ¹the woods.

⁷Let us go into His tabernacle;

^hLet us worship at His footstool.

⁸ⁱArise, O Lord, to Your resting place,

You and ^jthe ark of Your strength.

⁹Let Your priests ^kbe clothed with righteousness,

And let Your saints shout for joy.

¹⁰For Your servant David’s sake,

Do not turn away the face of Your ²Anointed.

^11lThe Lord has sworn in truth to David;

He will not turn from it:

“I will set upon your throne ^mthe ³fruit of your body.

¹²If your sons will keep My covenant

And My testimony which I shall teach them,

Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forevermore.”

¹³ⁿFor the Lord has chosen Zion;

He has desired it for His ⁴dwelling place:

¹⁴“This ^ois My resting place forever;

Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.

^15pI will abundantly bless her ⁵provision;

I will satisfy her poor with bread.

^16qI will also clothe her priests with salvation,

^rAnd her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

^17sThere I will make the ⁶horn of David grow;

^tI will prepare a lamp for My ⁷Anointed.

¹⁸His enemies I will ^uclothe with shame,

But upon Himself His crown shall flourish.”
