Psalmen 132

1. ¹Yahweh, remember David and all his affliction,
2. ²How he swore to Yahweh, And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3. ³"Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, Nor go up into my bed;
4. ⁴I will not give sleep to my eyes, Or slumber to my eyelids;
5. ⁵Until I find out a place for Yahweh, A dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob."
6. ⁶Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar:
7. ⁷"We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at his footstool.
8. ⁸Arise, Yahweh, into your resting place; You, and the ark of your strength.
9. ⁹Let your priest be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!"
10. ¹⁰For your servant David's sake, Don't turn away the face of your anointed one.
11. ¹¹Yahweh has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: "I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.
12. ¹²If your children will keep my covenant, My testimony that I will teach them, Their children also will sit on your throne forevermore."
13. ¹³For Yahweh has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation.
14. ¹⁴"This is my resting place forever. Here I will live, for I have desired it.
15. ¹⁵I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16. ¹⁶Her priests I will also clothe with salvation. Her saints will shout aloud for joy.
17. ¹⁷There I will make the horn of David to bud. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.
18. ¹⁸I will clothe his enemies with shame, But on himself, his crown will be resplendant."
