132:1 A Song of Ascents. Yahweh, remember David and all his affliction,
132:2 how he swore to Yahweh, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
132:3 Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, nor go up into my bed;
132:4 I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids;
132:5 until I find out a place for Yahweh, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.
132:6 Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar:
132:7 We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at his footstool.
132:8 Arise, Yahweh, into your resting place; you, and the ark of your strength.
132:9 Let your priest be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!
132:10 For your servant Davids sake, dont turn away the face of your anointed one.
132:11 Yahweh has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.
132:12 If your children will keep my covenant, my testimony that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forevermore.
132:13 For Yahweh has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation.
132:14 This is my resting place forever. Here I will live, for I have desired it.
132:15 I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread.
132:16 Her priests I will also clothe with salvation. Her saints will shout aloud for joy.
132:17 There I will make the horn of David to bud. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.
132:18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will be resplendent.
