Psalm 132 Eternal Dwelling of God in Zion
Psalm 132:1-18 Eternal Dwelling of God in Zion
A Song of Ascents.
Psalm 132:1-5
1 Lord, remember David
And all his afflictions;
2
How he swore to the Lord,
And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3
“Surely I will not go into the chamber of my house,
Or go up to the comfort of my bed;
4
I will not give sleep to my eyes
Or slumber to my eyelids,
5
Until I find a place for the Lord,
A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
Psalm 132:6-9
6
Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah;
We found it in the fields of the woods.
7
Let us go into His tabernacle;
Let us worship at His footstool.
8
Arise, O Lord, to Your resting place,
You and the ark of Your strength.
9
Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness,
And let Your saints shout for joy.
Psalm 132:10
10
For Your servant David’s sake,
Do not turn away the face of Your Anointed (Commissioned One, Hebrew: Messiah).
Psalm 132:11-12
11
The Lord has sworn in truth to David;
He will not turn from it:
“I will set upon your throne the fruit of your body.
12
If your sons will keep My covenant
And My testimony which I shall teach them,
Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forevermore.”
Psalm 132:13-18
13
For the Lord has chosen Zion;
He has desired it for His dwelling place:
14
“This is My resting place forever;
Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.
15
I will abundantly bless her provision;
I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16
I will also clothe her priests with salvation,
And her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
17
There I will make the horn of David grow;
I will prepare a lamp for My Anointed.
18
His enemies I will clothe with shame,
But upon Himself His crown shall flourish.”
