New King James Version

Psa 132:1	A Song of Ascents. LORD remember David And all his afflictions;
Psa 132:2	How he swore to the LORD And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
Psa 132:3	"Surely I will not go into the chamber of my house Or go up to the comfort of my bed;
Psa 132:4	I will not give sleep to my eyes Or slumber to my eyelids
Psa 132:5	Until I find a place for the LORD A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob."
Psa 132:6	Behold we heard of it in Ephrathah; We found it in the fields of the woods.
Psa 132:7	Let us go into His tabernacle; Let us worship at His footstool.
Psa 132:8	Arise O LORD to Your resting place You and the ark of Your strength.
Psa 132:9	Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness And let Your saints shout for joy.
Psa 132:10	For Your servant David's sake Do not turn away the face of Your Anointed.
Psa 132:11	The LORD has sworn in truth to David; He will not turn from it: "I will set upon your throne the fruit of your body.
Psa 132:12	If your sons will keep My covenant And My testimony which I shall teach them Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forevermore."
Psa 132:13	For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His dwelling place:
Psa 132:14	"This is My resting place forever; Here I will dwell for I have desired it.
Psa 132:15	I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her poor with bread.
Psa 132:16	I will also clothe her priests with salvation And her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
Psa 132:17	There I will make the horn of David grow; I will prepare a lamp for My Anointed.
Psa 132:18	His enemies I will clothe with shame But upon Himself His crown shall flourish."
