Psalm 132New King James Version
The Eternal Dwelling of God in Zion
A Song of Ascents.
132 Lord, remember David
Andall his afflictions;
2 How he swore to theLord,
(A)Andvowed to(B)the 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;
4 I will(C)not give sleep to my eyes
Orslumber to my eyelids,
5 Until I(D)find a place for theLord,
A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
6 Behold, we heard of it(E)in Ephrathah;
(F)We found it(G)in the fields of[a]the woods.
7 Let us go into His tabernacle;
(H)Let us worship at His footstool.
8 (I)Arise, OLord, to Your resting place,
You and(J)the ark of Your strength.
9 Let Your priests(K)be clothed with righteousness,
And let Your saints shout for joy.
10 For Your servant David’s sake,
Do not turn away the face of Your[b]Anointed.
11 (L)TheLordhas swornintruth to David;
He will not turn from it:
“I will set upon your throne(M)the[c]fruit of your body.
12 If your sons will keep My covenant
And My testimony which I shall teach them,
Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forevermore.”
13 (N)For theLordhas chosen Zion;
He has desireditfor His[d]dwelling place:
14 “This(O)isMy resting place forever;
Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.
15 (P)I will abundantly bless her[e]provision;
I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16 (Q)I will also clothe her priests with salvation,
(R)And her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
17 (S)There I will make the[f]horn of David grow;
(T)I will prepare a lamp for My[g]Anointed.
18 His enemies I will(U)clothe with shame,
But upon Himself His crown shall flourish.”
