NIV Psalms 132- O LORD, remember David and all the hardships he endured.
- He swore an oath to the LORD and made a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:
- "I will not enter my house or go to my bed-
- I will allow no sleep to my eyes, no slumber to my eyelids,
- till I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob."
- We heard it in Ephrathah, we came upon it in the fields of Jaar :
- "Let us go to his dwelling place; let us worship at his footstool-
- arise, O LORD, and come to your resting place, you and the ark of your might.
- May your priests be clothed with righteousness; may your saints sing for joy."
- For the sake of David your servant, do not reject your anointed one.
- The LORD swore an oath to David, a sure oath that he will not revoke: "One of your own descendants I will place on your throne-
- if your sons keep my covenant and the statutes I teach them, then their sons will sit on your throne for ever and ever."
- For the LORD has chosen Zion, he has desired it for his dwelling:
- "This is my resting place for ever and ever; here I will sit enthroned, for I have desired it-
- I will bless her with abundant provisions; her poor will I satisfy with food.
- I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints will ever sing for joy.
- "Here I will make a horn grow for David and set up a lamp for my anointed one.
- I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown on his head will be resplendent."
