Psalms

Psalm 132:13–16

¹³For the LORD has chosen Zion;

He has desired it for His home:

¹⁴“This is My resting place forever and ever;

here I will dwell, for I have desired this home.

¹⁵I will bless her with abundant provisions;

I will satisfy her poor with bread.

¹⁶I will clothe her priests with salvation,

and her saints will sing out in joy.
