Psalm 132

NASB

Psalm 132

Prayer for the Lord’s Blessing upon the Sanctuary.

^{Tools
1} A Song of Ascents.

Remember, O Lord, on David’s behalf,
All ^(A)his affliction;

^{Tools
2}

How he swore to the Lord
And vowed to ^(B)the Mighty One of Jacob,

^{Tools
3}

“Surely I will not ^(a)enter ^(C)my house,
Nor ^(b)lie on my bed;

^{Tools
4}

I will not ^(D)give sleep to my eyes
Or slumber to my eyelids,

^{Tools
5}

Until I find a ^(E)place for the Lord,
^(c)A dwelling place for ^(F)the Mighty One of Jacob.”

^{Tools
6}

Behold, we heard of it in ^(G)Ephrathah,
We found it in the ^(H)field of ^(d)Jaar.

^{Tools
7}

Let us go into His ^(e)^(I)dwelling place;
Let us ^(J)worship at His ^(K)footstool.

^{Tools
8}

^(L)Arise, O Lord, to Your ^(M)resting place,
You and the ark of Your ^(N)strength.

^{Tools
9}

Let Your priests be ^(O)clothed with righteousness,
And let Your ^(P)godly ones sing for joy.

^{Tools
10}

For the sake of David Your servant,
Do not turn away the face of Your ^(Q)anointed.

^{Tools
11}

The Lord has ^(R)sworn to David
A truth from which He will not turn back:
“^(S)Of the fruit of your body I will set upon your throne.

^{Tools
12}

“If your sons will keep My covenant
And My testimony which I will teach them,
Their sons also shall ^(T)sit upon your throne forever.”

^{Tools
13}

For the Lord has ^(U)chosen Zion;
He has ^(V)desired it for His habitation.

^{Tools
14}

“This is My ^(W)resting place forever;
Here I will ^(X)dwell, for I have desired it.

^{Tools
15}

“I will abundantly ^(Y)bless her provision;
I will ^(Z)satisfy her needy with bread.

^{Tools
16}

“Her ^(AA)priests also I will clothe with salvation,
And her ^(AB)godly ones will sing aloud for joy.

^{Tools
17}

“There I will cause the ^(AC)horn of David to spring forth;
I have prepared a ^(AD)lamp for Mine anointed.

^{Tools
18}

“His enemies I will ^(AE)clothe with shame,
But upon himself his ^(AF)crown shall shine.”
