A song of ascents
132
📚✭✭LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions,
2 📚✭And how he swore to the LORD,
and made a vow to the
mighty God of Jacob:
3 📚“Surely I will not go into
a room of my house,
or get into my bed,
4 📚And I will not give sleep
to my eyes,
or slumber to my eyelids,
5 📚Until I find a place
for the LORD,
a dwelling for the mighty
God of Jacob”.
6 📚Look, we heard of it✭
at Ephratah;
we found it in the fields
of the woods✭.
7 📚We will go into his tabernacle✭.
We will worship at his footstool✭.
8 📚✭Arise, O LORD, into your
resting place,
you, and the ark of your strength.
9 📚✭Let your priests be clothed
with righteousness,
and let your saints shout for joy.
10 📚✭For the sake of your servant
David do not turn away the face
of your anointed.
11 📚✭The LORD has sworn in truth
to David,
and he will not turn
from it:
“I will set on your throne one of the
fruit of your body.
12 📚If your children keep my covenant
and my testimony,
which I will teach them,
their children will also sit
on your throne forevermore”.
13 📚✭For the LORD has chosen Zion;
he has desired it for his dwelling.
14 📚✭“This is my resting
place forever; here I will dwell,
for I have desired it.
15 📚I will abundantly bless
her provisions.
I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16 📚✭I will also clothe her priests
with salvation,
and her saints will shout aloud
for joy.
17 📚There I will cause the horn✭
of David to grow.
I have appointed a lamp✭
for my anointed.
18 📚I will clothe his enemies
with shame✭;
but his crown✭ will gleam
on himself”.
