ULT PSA Chapter 132

A song of ascents.

132 A Song of Ascents Yahweh, for David’s sake, remember all his afflictions.

2 how he swore to Yahweh,

how he vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob.

3 Surely I will not enter the tent of my house

nor go up to the spread of my bed,

4 Nor will I give sleep to my eyes

or rest to my eyelids

5 until I find a place for Yahweh,

a tabernacle for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

6 Look, we heard about it in Ephrathah;

we found it in the fields of Jaar.

7 We will go into his tabernacle;

we will worship at the footstool of his feet.

8 Arise, Yahweh, to your resting place,

you and the ark of your strength!

9 May your priests be clothed with righteousness;

may your faithful ones shout for joy.

10 For your servant David’s sake,

do not turn away from the face of your anointed one.

11 Yahweh swore a sure oath to David,

he will not turn from it:

“From the fruit of your belly I will set on your throne.

12 If your sons keep my covenant

and the laws that I will teach them,

their children also will sit on your throne forevermore.”

13 For Yahweh has chosen Zion,

he has desired her as a dwelling for him.

14 “This is my resting place forever.

I will dwell here, for I desire her.

15 With wild game I will abundantly bless her.

I will satisfy her poor with bread.

16 I will clothe her priests with salvation,

her faithful ones will shout aloud for joy.

17 There I will make a horn to sprout for David

and set up a lamp for my anointed one.

18 I will clothe his enemies with shame,

but on him his crown will shine.”
