Psalms 132:2-18

²the oath that he swore to the Lord, and his vow to the Strong One of Jacob,

³never to enter his tent, never to lie on his bed,

⁴never to give his eyes sleep or his eyelids slumber,

⁵till he had found a place for the Lord, for the Strong One of Jacob to live in.

⁶We heard of it in Ephrathah, in the fields of Jaar we found it.

⁷We went to the place where he dwelt, we bowed ourselves low at his footstool.

⁸“Arise, Lord, and enter your resting-place, you and your mighty ark.

⁹Let your priests wear a garment of righteousness, your faithful shout aloud for joy.

¹⁰For the sake of David your servant, do not reject your Anointed.”

¹¹The Lord swore an oath to David an oath that he will not break; “I will set on your throne a prince of your line.

¹²If your sons keep my covenant and the statutes I teach them, then their sons, too, forever, will sit on your throne.”

¹³For the choice of the Lord is Zion; she is the home of his heart.

¹⁴“This is forever my resting-place, this is the home of my heart.

¹⁵I will royally bless her provision, and give bread to her poor in abundance.

¹⁶Her priests I will clothe with salvation; her faithful will shout for joy.

¹⁷There will I raise up for David a dynasty of power. I have set my anointed a lamp that shall never go out.

¹⁸Robes of shame I will put on his foes, but on his head a glittering crown.”
