Psalms 132
Open in the reader1A Song of Ascents. O He-Who-Is, remember on behalf of Beloved all the hardships he endured,
2how he swore an oath to He-Who-Is, and vowed to the Mighty One of Heel-Grabber:
3“I will not enter my house or get into my bed,
4I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,
5until I find a place for He-Who-Is, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Heel-Grabber.”
6We heard that the ark was in Fruitful; we found it in the fields of Jaar.
7Let us go to His dwelling place; let us worship at His footstool.
8Arise, O He-Who-Is, to Your resting place, You and the Chest of Your strength.
9May Your priests be clothed with righteousness, and Your devoted ones shout for joy.
10For the sake of Your servant Beloved, do not reject Your anointed one.
11He-Who-Is swore an oath to Beloved, a promise He will not revoke: “One of your descendants I will place on your throne.
12If your sons keep My covenant and the testimony I will teach them, then their sons will also sit on your throne forever and ever.”
13For He-Who-Is has chosen Marker; He has desired it for His home:
14“This is My resting place forever and ever; here I will dwell, for I have desired this home.
15I will bless her with abundant provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her devoted ones will sing out in joy.
17There I will make a horn grow for Beloved; I have prepared a lamp for My anointed one.
18I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown upon him will gleam.”
