Psalms 132
132
A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem.
1Lord, remember David, and all that he went through.
2He made a promise to the Lord, a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3“I will not go home, I will not go to bed,
4I will not go to sleep, I will not take a nap,
5until I find a place where the Lord can live, a home for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
6In Ephrathah we received information about the Ark of Agreement, and we found it in fields near Jaar.#132:6. Kiriath Jearim. See 1 Samuel 7.
7Let's go to the place where the Lord lives and bow down at his feet in worship.
8Come, Lord, and enter your home,#132:8. Literally, “resting place,” but with the sense that this is the usual place where someone resides, hence “home.” together with your Ark of your power.
9May your priests wear goodness like clothing; may your faithful people shout for joy.
10For the sake of your servant David, don't reject the king you have chosen.
11The Lord made a solemn promise to David, one he will never cancel—“I will put one of your descendants on your throne.
12If your sons keep to my agreement and my laws that I will teach them, then their sons will always occupy your throne.”
13For the Lord has chosen Zion, wanting to make his home there, saying:
14“This will always be my home; this is where I want to live.
15I will provide the people of the city with all they need; I will feed the poor.
16I will clothe its priests with salvation; and its faithful people will shout for joy.
17I will make the line of David even more powerful.#132:17. Literally, “I will make a horn sprout for David.” I have prepared a lamp for my chosen king.
18I will humiliate his enemies, but the crown he wears will shine brightly.”
