Psalm 132:1-Psalm 133:1 - David And Zion Chosen

¹ A song of ascents.Lord, remember David
and all the hardships he endured,
² and how he swore an oath to the Lord,
making a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:
³ “I will not enter my house
or get into my bed,
⁴ I will not allow my eyes to sleep
or my eyelids to slumber
⁵ until I find a place for the Lord,
a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

⁶ We heard of the ark in Ephrathah;
we found it in the fields of Jaar.
⁷ Let us go to His dwelling place;
let us worship at His footstool.
⁸ Rise up, Lord, come to Your resting place,
You and Your powerful ark.
⁹ May Your priests be clothed with righteousness,
and may Your godly people shout for joy.
¹⁰ Because of Your servant David,
do not reject Your anointed one.

¹¹ The Lord swore an oath to David,
a promise He will not abandon:
“I will set one of your descendants
on your throne.
¹² If your sons keep My covenant
and My decrees that I will teach them,
their sons will also sit on your throne forever.”

¹³ For the Lord has chosen Zion;
He has desired it for His home:
¹⁴ “This is My resting place forever;
I will make My home here
because I have desired it.
¹⁵ I will abundantly bless its food;
I will satisfy its needy with bread.
¹⁶ I will clothe its priests with salvation,
and its godly people will shout for joy.
¹⁷ There I will make a horn grow for David;
I have prepared a lamp for My anointed one.
¹⁸ I will clothe his enemies with shame,
but the crown he wears will be glorious.”

¹ A Davidic song of ascents.How good and pleasant it is
when brothers live together in harmony!
