Psalms 132

¹A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. Remember, YHWH, for David, all his afflictions;

²Who has sworn to YHWH, He has vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

³“If I enter into the tent of my house, If I go up on the couch of my bed,

⁴If I give sleep to my eyes, To my eyelids—slumber,

⁵Until I find a place for YHWH, dwelling places for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

⁶Behold, we have heard it in Ephratah, We have found it in the fields of the forest.

⁷We come into His dwelling places, We bow ourselves at His footstool.

⁸Arise, O YHWH, to Your rest, You, and the Ark of Your strength,

⁹Your priests put on righteousness, And Your pious ones cry aloud.

¹⁰For the sake of Your servant David, Do not turn back the face of Your anointed.

¹¹YHWH has sworn truth to David, He does not turn back from it: “Of the fruit of your body, I set on the throne for you.

¹²If your sons keep My covenant, And My testimonies that I teach them, Their sons also forever and ever Sit on the throne for you.”

¹³For YHWH has fixed on Zion, He has desired it for a seat to Himself,

¹⁴“This is My rest forever and ever, Here I sit, for I have desired it.

¹⁵I greatly bless her provision, I satisfy her poor with bread,

¹⁶And I clothe her priests with salvation, And her pious ones sing aloud.

¹⁷There I cause a horn to spring up for David, I have arranged a lamp for My Anointed.

¹⁸I clothe His enemies with shame, And His crown flourishes on Him!”
