Psalm 132

Yahweh Has Chosen Zion

A song of ascents.

¹O Yahweh, remember on behalf of David

all the hardships he endured,

²how he swore an oath to Yahweh,

and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

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 Yahweh,

a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

⁶We heard that the ark was in Ephrathah;

we found it in the fields of Jaar.

⁷Let us go to His dwelling place;

let us worship at His footstool.

⁸Arise, O Yahweh, to Your resting place,

You and the ark of Your strength.

⁹May Your priests be clothed with righteousness,

and Your saints shout for joy.

¹⁰For the sake of Your servant David,

do not reject Your anointed one.

¹¹Yahweh swore an oath to David,

a promise He will not revoke:

“One of your descendants

I will place on your throne.

• PS 132:11[QUOTED]Quoted in the New Testament → ACTS 2:30
• PS 132:11[NOTE]AN OATH TO DAVID. Peter said David knew God had sworn to seat one of his descendants on his throne, and he saw ahead to the Christ, Acts 2:30.

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 Yahweh has chosen Zion;

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 saints will sing out in joy.

¹⁷There I will make a horn grow for David;

I have prepared a lamp for My anointed one.

• PS 132:17[PROPHECY]God would make a horn of salvation grow for David → LK 1:69MEDIUM

¹⁸I will clothe his enemies with shame,

but the crown upon him will gleam.”
