Psalm 132:1-12Common English Bible (CEB)

Psalm 132

A pilgrimage song.

132 Lord, remember David—
    all the ways he suffered
    and how he swore to the Lord,
        how he promised the strong one of Jacob:
    “I won’t enter my house,
    won’t get into my bed.
    I won’t let my eyes close,
    won’t let my eyelids sleep,
        
        a dwelling place for the strong one of Jacob.”
Yes, we heard about it in Ephrathah;
    we found it[a] in the fields of Jaar.
Let’s enter God’s dwelling place;
    let’s worship at the place God rests his feet!
Get up, Lord, go to your residence—
    you and your powerful covenant chest!
Let your priests be dressed in righteousness;
    let your faithful shout out with joy!
10 And for the sake of your servant David,
    do not reject your anointed one.
11 The Lord swore to David
    a true promise that God won’t take back:
        “I will put one of your own children on your throne.
12 And if your children keep my covenant
        and the laws that I will teach them,
    then their children too will rule on your throne forever.”
