Psalms - Chapter 132 - New International Version
- LORD, remember David and all his self-denial.
- He swore an oath to the LORD, he made a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:
- "I will not enter my house or go to my bed,
- I will allow no sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,
- till I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob."
- We heard it in Ephrathah, we came upon it in the fields of Jaar: [^
- ]
- "Let us go to his dwelling place, let us worship at his footstool, saying,
- 'Arise, LORD, and come to your resting place, you and the ark of your might.
- May your priests be clothed with your righteousness; may your faithful people sing for joy.'"
- For the sake of your servant David, do not reject your anointed one.
- The LORD swore an oath to David, a sure oath he will not revoke: "One of your own descendants I will place on your throne.
- If your sons keep my covenant and the statutes I teach them, then their sons will sit on your throne for ever and ever."
- For the LORD has chosen Zion, he has desired it for his dwelling, saying,
- "This is my resting place for ever and ever; here I will sit enthroned, for I have desired it.
- I will bless her with abundant provisions; her poor I will satisfy with food.
- I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her faithful people will ever sing for joy.
- "Here I will make a horn "grow for David and set up a lamp for my anointed one.
- I will clothe his enemies with shame, but his head will be adorned with a radiant crown."
