Psa 132 | ESV | STEP | A Song of Ascents . Remember , O Lord , in David’s favor, all the hardships he endured ,

1 Remember, O Lord, in David’s favor,
all ^b the hardships he endured,
2 how he swore to the Lord
and ^cvowed to ^dthe Mighty One of Jacob,
3 “I will not enter my house
or get into my bed,
4 I will not ^egive sleep to my eyes
or slumber to my eyelids,
5 until I ^ffind a place for the Lord,
a dwelling place for ^gthe Mighty One of Jacob.”
6 Behold, we heard of it in ^hEphrathah;
we found it in ⁱthe fields of Jaar.
7 “Let us go to his dwelling place;
let us ^jworship at his ^kfootstool!”
8 ^lArise, O Lord, and go to your ^mresting place,
you and the ark of your ⁿmight.
9 Let your ^opriests be ^pclothed with righteousness,
and let your ^qsaints shout for joy.
10 For the sake of your servant David,
^rdo not turn away the face of ^syour anointed one.
11 ^tThe Lord swore to David a sure oath
^ufrom which he will not turn back:
^v“One of the sons of your body ^{▼▼Hebrew of your fruit of the womb}
I will set on your throne.
12 If your sons keep my covenant
and my testimonies that I shall teach them,
their sons also forever
shall ^xsit on your throne.”
13 For the Lord has ^ychosen Zion;
he has ^zdesired it for his dwelling place:
14 “This is my ^aaresting place forever;
here I will ^abdwell, for I have desired it.
15 I will abundantly ^acbless her provisions;
I will ^adsatisfy her poor with bread.
16 Her ^aepriests I will clothe with salvation,
and her ^afsaints will shout for joy.
17 There I will make ^aga horn to sprout for David;
I have prepared ^aha lamp for ^aimy anointed.
18 His enemies I will ^ajclothe with shame,
but on him his crown will shine.”
