Psalm 132

² He swore an oath to the Lord,
    he made a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:
³ ‘I will not enter my house
    or go to my bed,
⁴ I will allow no sleep to my eyes
    or slumber to my eyelids,
⁵ till I find a place for the Lord,
    a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.’

⁶ We heard it in Ephrathah,
    we came upon it in the fields of Jaar:^[a]
7 ‘Let us go to his dwelling-place,
    let us worship at his footstool, saying,
⁸ “Arise, Lord, and come to your resting place,
    you and the ark of your might.
⁹ May your priests be clothed with your righteousness;
    may your faithful people sing for joy.”’

¹⁰ For the sake of your servant David,
    do not reject your anointed one.

¹¹ The Lord swore an oath to David,
    a sure oath he will not revoke:
‘One of your own descendants
    I will place on your throne.
¹² If your sons keep my covenant
    and the statutes I teach them,
then their sons shall sit
    on your throne for ever and ever.’

¹³ For the Lord has chosen Zion,
    he has desired it for his dwelling, saying,
¹⁴ ‘This is my resting place for ever and ever;
    here I will sit enthroned, for I have desired it.
¹⁵ I will bless her with abundant provisions;
    her poor I will satisfy with food.
¹⁶ I will clothe her priests with salvation,
    and her faithful people shall ever sing for joy.

¹⁷ ‘Here I will make a horn^[b] grow for David
    and set up a lamp for my anointed one.
¹⁸ I will clothe his enemies with shame,
    but his head shall be adorned with a radiant crown.’
