132 : 1 O LORD, remember David and all the hardships he endured.
132 : 2 He swore an oath to the LORD and made a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:
132 : 3 I will not enter my house or go to my bed-
132 : 4 I will allow no sleep to my eyes, no slumber to my eyelids,
132 : 5 till I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob."
132 : 6 We heard it in Ephrathah, we came upon it in the fields of Jaar :
132 : 7 Let us go to his dwelling place; let us worship at his footstool-
132 : 8 arise, O LORD, and come to your resting place, you and the ark of your might.
132 : 9 May your priests be clothed with righteousness; may your saints sing for joy."
132 : 10 For the sake of David your servant, do not reject your anointed one.
132 : 11 The LORD swore an oath to David, a sure oath that he will not revoke: "One of your own descendants I will place on your throne-
132 : 12 if your sons keep my covenant and the statutes I teach them, then their sons will sit on your throne for ever and ever."
132 : 13 For the LORD has chosen Zion, he has desired it for his dwelling:
132 : 14 This is my resting place for ever and ever; here I will sit enthroned, for I have desired it-
132 : 15 I will bless her with abundant provisions; her poor will I satisfy with food.
132 : 16 I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints will ever sing for joy.
132 : 17 Here I will make a horn grow for David and set up a lamp for my anointed one.
132 : 18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown on his head will be resplendent."
