Psaumes 132.16
New International Version

Rappel des promesses de Dieu à David

¹ Lord, remember David
and all his self-denial.

² He swore an oath to the Lord,
he made a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:

³ “I will not enter my house
or go to my bed,

⁴ I will allow no sleep to my eyes
or slumber to my eyelids,

⁵ till I find a place for the Lord,
a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

⁶ We heard it in Ephrathah,
we came upon it in the fields of Jaar:

⁷ “Let us go to his dwelling place,
let us worship at his footstool, saying,

⁸ ‘Arise, Lord, and come to your resting place,
you and the ark of your might.

⁹ May your priests be clothed with your righteousness;
may your faithful people sing for joy.’ ”

¹⁰ For the sake of your servant David,
do not reject your anointed one.

¹¹ The Lord swore an oath to David,
a sure oath he will not revoke:
“One of your own descendants
I will place on your throne.

¹² If your sons keep my covenant
and the statutes I teach them,
then their sons will sit
on your throne for ever and ever.”

¹³ For the Lord has chosen Zion,
he has desired it for his dwelling, saying,

¹⁴ “This is my resting place for ever and ever;
here I will sit enthroned, for I have desired it.

¹⁵ I will bless her with abundant provisions;
her poor I will satisfy with food.

¹⁶ I will clothe her priests with salvation,
and her faithful people will ever sing for joy.

¹⁷ “Here I will make a horn grow for David
and set up a lamp for my anointed one.

¹⁸ I will clothe his enemies with shame,
but his head will be adorned with a radiant crown.”
