Psalm 132:1-5
New International Version
Psalm 132:1-5
The Message
132 1-5 O God, remember David,
remember all his troubles!
And remember how he promised God,
made a vow to the Strong God of Jacob,
“I’m not going home,
and I’m not going to bed,
I’m not going to sleep,
not even take time to rest,
Until I find a home for God,
a house for the Strong God of Jacob.”
Psalm 132:13-16
New International Version
13 For the Lord has chosen Zion,(A)
he has desired it for his dwelling,(B) saying,
14 “This is my resting place for ever and ever;(C)
here I will sit enthroned,(D) for I have desired it.
15 I will bless her with abundant provisions;
her poor I will satisfy with food.(E)
16 I will clothe her priests(F) with salvation,
and her faithful people will ever sing for joy.(G)
Psalm 132:13-18
The Message
11-18 God gave David his word,
he won’t back out on this promise:
“One of your sons
I will set on your throne;
If your sons stay true to my Covenant
and learn to live the way I teach them,
Their sons will continue the line—
always a son to sit on your throne.
Yes—I, God, chose Zion,
the place I wanted for my shrine;
This will always be my home;
this is what I want, and I’m here for good.
I’ll shower blessings on the pilgrims who come here,
and give supper to those who arrive hungry;
I’ll dress my priests in salvation clothes;
the holy people will sing their hearts out!
Oh, I’ll make the place radiant for David!
I’ll fill it with light for my anointed!
I’ll dress his enemies in dirty rags,
but I’ll make his crown sparkle with splendor.”
