1Psalm 132 The Covenant Between David and God - A song of ascents. I - Remember, O LORD, for David all his hardships; 2How he swore an oath to the LORD, vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob: 3“I will not enter the house where I live, nor lie on the couch where I sleep; 4I will give my eyes no sleep, my eyelids no rest, 5Till I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.” 6“We have heard of it in Ephrathah; we have found it in the fields of Jaar. 7Let us enter his dwelling; let us worship at his footstool.” 8“Arise, LORD, come to your resting place, you and your mighty ark. 9Your priests will be clothed with justice; your devout will shout for joy.” 10For the sake of David your servant, do not reject your anointed. 11II - The LORD swore an oath to David in truth, he will never turn back from it: “Your own offspring I will set upon your throne. 12If your sons observe my covenant, and my decrees I shall teach them, Their sons, in turn, shall sit forever on your throne.” 13Yes, the LORD has chosen Zion, desired it for a dwelling: 14“This is my resting place forever; here I will dwell, for I desire it. 15I will bless Zion with provisions; its poor I will fill with bread. 16I will clothe its priests with salvation; its devout shall shout for joy. 17There I will make a horn sprout for David; I will set a lamp for my anointed. 18His foes I will clothe with shame, but on him his crown shall shine.”
