Day 1 · The LORD Has Chosen Zion
Psalm 132:1–12
1O LORD, remember on behalf of David all the hardships he endured, 2how he swore an oath to the LORD, 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 the LORD, 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 LORD, 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. 11The LORD swore an oath to David, a promise He will not revoke: “One of your descendants I will place on your throne. 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.”
