Compare: Psalm 132

BSB

A song of ascents. O LORD, remember on behalf of David all the hardships he endured,

BSB

how he swore an oath to the LORD, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

BSB

“I will not enter my house or get into my bed,

BSB

I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,

BSB

until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

BSB

We heard that the ark was in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.

BSB

Let us go to His dwelling place; let us worship at His footstool.

BSB

Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength.

BSB

May Your priests be clothed with righteousness, and Your saints shout for joy.

BSB

For the sake of Your servant David, do not reject Your anointed one.

BSB

The LORD swore an oath to David, a promise He will not revoke: “One of your descendants I will place on your throne.

BSB

If your sons keep My covenant and the testimony I will teach them, then their sons will also sit on your throne forever and ever.”

BSB

For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His home:

BSB

“This is My resting place forever and ever; here I will dwell, for I have desired this home.

BSB

I will bless her with abundant provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread.

BSB

I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints will sing out in joy.

BSB

There I will make a horn grow for David; I have prepared a lamp for My anointed one.

BSB

I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown upon him will gleam.”
