Psalms 132:1-11

¹A song of ascents. Yahweh, for David's sake call to mind all his afflictions.

²Call to mind how he swore to Yahweh, how he vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob.

³He said, “I will not enter my house or get into my bed,

⁴I will not give sleep to my eyes or rest to my eyelids

⁵until I find a place for Yahweh, a tabernacle for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

⁶See, we heard about it in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.

⁷We will go into God's tabernacle; we will worship at his footstool.

⁸Arise, Yahweh, to your resting place, you and the ark of your strength!

⁹May your priests be clothed with integrity; may your faithful ones shout for joy.

¹⁰For your servant David's sake, do not turn away from your anointed king.

¹¹Yahweh swore a sure oath to David, a sure oath that he will not revoke: “I will place one of your descendants on your throne.
