PSALM 132
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1David, and his afflictions all,
Lord, do thou think upon;
2How unto God he sware,
and vow'd to Jacob's mighty One.
3I will not come within my house,
nor rest in bed at all;
4Nor shall mine eyes take any sleep,
nor eyelids slumber shall;
5Till for the Lord a place I find,
where he may make abode;
A place of habitation
for Jacob's mighty God.
6Lo, at the place of Ephratah
of it we understood;
And we did find it in the fields,
and city of the wood.
7We'll go into his tabernacles,
and at his footstool bow.
8Arise, O Lord, into thy rest,
th' ark of thy strength, and thou.
9O let thy priests be clothed, Lord,
with truth and righteousness;
And let all those that are thy saints
shout loud for joyfulness.
10For thine own servant David's sake,
do not deny thy grace;
Nor of thine own anointed one
turn thou away the face.
11The Lord in truth to David sware,
he will not turn from it,
I of thy body's fruit will make
upon thy throne to sit.
12My cov'nant if thy sons will keep,
and laws to them made known,
Their children then shall also sit
for ever on thy throne.
13For God of Sion hath made choice;
there he desires to dwell.
14This is my rest, here still I'll stay;
for I do like it well.
15Her food I'll greatly bless; her poor
with bread will satisfy.
16Her priests I'll clothe with health; her saints
shall shout forth joyfully.
17And there will I make David's horn
to bud forth pleasantly:
For him that mine anointed is
a lamp ordain'd have I.
18As with a garment I will clothe
with shame his en'mies all:
But yet the crown that he doth wear
upon him flourish shall.

Psalms 132
132
Yahweh Dwells in Zion
A song of ascents.#The Hebrew Bible counts the superscription as the first verse of the psalm
1O Yahweh, remember with regard to David
all his affliction.#Hebrew “his being afflicted”
2How he swore to Yahweh,
he vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3“I will not enter into the tent of my house,
I will not go up to the couch of my bed,
4I will give no sleep to my eyes,
no slumber to my eyelids,
5until I find a place for Yahweh,
a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
6Look, we heard of it in Ephrathah;
we found her in the fields of Jaar.#Or “the fields of the woods”
7Let us go to his dwelling places;#That is, the temple
Let us worship at his footstool.
8Arise, O Yahweh, to your resting place,
you and your mighty ark.
9Let your priests clothe themselves with righteousness,
and let your faithful sing for joy.
10For the sake of your servant David,
do not turn away the face of your anointed one.
11Yahweh swore in truth to David;
he will not turn back from it.
“One from the fruit of your body#Literally “belly”
I will set on your throne.
12If your sons will heed my covenant
and my testimonies that I will teach them,
their sons also forever
will sit on your throne.”
13For Yahweh has chosen Zion;
he has desired it for his habitation.
14“This is my resting place forever;
here I will dwell, for I have desired it.
15I will bless its provisions abundantly;
I will satisfy its poor with bread.
16I will also clothe its priests with salvation,
and its faithful will shout exuberantly for joy.
17There I will cause a horn to grow for David;
I will set a lamp for my anointed one.
18I will clothe his enemies with shame,
but on him his crown will flourish.”#Or “shine”
