| # Chapter 132
#### 1 | Yahweh, remember David and all his affliction,
#### 2 | How he swore to Yahweh, And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
#### 3 | 'Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, Nor go up into my bed;
#### 4 | I will not give sleep to my eyes, Or slumber to my eyelids;
#### 5 | Until I find out a place for Yahweh, A dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.'
#### 6 | Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar:
#### 7 | 'We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at his footstool.
#### 8 | Arise, Yahweh, into your resting place; You, and the ark of your strength.
#### 9 | Let your priest be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!'
#### 10 | For your servant David's sake, Don't turn away the face of your anointed one.
#### 11 | Yahweh has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: 'I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.
#### 12 | If your children will keep my covenant, My testimony that I will teach them, Their children also will sit on your throne forevermore.'
#### 13 | For Yahweh has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation.
#### 14 | 'This is my resting place forever. Here I will live, for I have desired it.
#### 15 | I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread.
#### 16 | Her priests I will also clothe with salvation. Her saints will shout aloud for joy.
#### 17 | There I will make the horn of David to bud. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.
#### 18 | I will clothe his enemies with shame, But on himself, his crown will be resplendant.' Psalm 133 A Song of Ascents. By David.
