المَزامِير 132

١ 1 تَرْنِيمَةُ الْمَصَاعِدِ اذْكُرْ يَا رَبُّ دَاوُدَ وَكُلَّ مُعَانَاتِهِ.

A Song of Degrees. Lord, remember David, and all his meekness:

٢ 2 اذْكُرْ كَيْفَ أَقْسَمَ لِلرَّبِّ وَنَذَرَ لإِلَهِ يَعْقُوبَ الْقَدِيرِ:

how he sware to the Lord, [and] vowed to the God of Jacob, [saying],

٣ 3 «لَنْ أَدْخُلَ بَيْتَ سُكْنَايَ، وَلَنْ أَعْلُوَ فِرَاشِي،

I will not go into the tabernacle of my house; I will not go up to the couch of my bed;

٤ 4 وَلَنْ أُعْطِيَ عَيْنَيَّ نَوْماً وَلَا أَجْفَانِي نُعَاساً،

I will not give sleep to mine eyes, nor slumber to mine eyelids, nor rest to my temples,

٥ 5 حَتَّى أَبْنِيَ مَقَاماً لِتَابُوتِ الرَّبِّ، وَمَسْكِناً لإِلَهِ يَعْقُوبَ الْقَدِيرِ».

until I find a place for the Lord, a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.

٦ 6 فِي أَفْرَاتَةَ سَمِعْنَا بِهِ، وَفِي حُقُولِ الْوَعْرِ وَجَدْنَاهُ،

Behold, we heard of it in Ephratha; we found it in the fields of the wood.

٧ 7 فَقُلْنَا: «لِنَدْخُلْ إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ، وَلْنَسْجُدْ عِنْدَ مَوْطِئِ قَدَمَيْهِ».

Let us enter into his tabernacles: let us worship at the place where his feet stood.

٨ 8 عُدْ إِلَى هَيْكَلِكَ يَا رَبُّ، أَنْتَ وَتَابُوتُ عِزَّتِكَ.

Arise, O Lord, into your rest; you, and the ark of your holiness.

٩ 9 لِيَرْتَدِ كَهَنَتُكَ البِرَّ ثَوْباً، وَلِيَهْتِفْ أَتْقِيَاؤُكَ فَرَحاً.

Your priests shall clothe themselves with righteousness; and your saints shall exult.

١٠ 10 مِنْ أَجْلِ دَاوُدَ عَبْدِكَ لَا تَرْفُضْ طَلَبَ مَلِكِكَ الْمَمْسُوحِ.

For the sake of your servant David turn not away the face of your anointed.

١١ 11 قَدْ أَقْسَمَ الرَّبُّ لِدَاوُدَ قَسَماً صَادِقاً لَا يَرْجِعُ عَنْهُ: «مِنْ ثَمَرَةِ بَطْنِكَ أُقِيمُ مَلِكاً عَلَى عَرْشِكَ.

The Lord sware [in] truth to David, and he will not annul it, [saying], Of the fruit of your body will I set [a king] upon your throne.

١٢ 12 إِذَا حَفِظَ بَنُوكَ عَهْدِي وَشَهَادَاتِي الَّتِي أُعَلِّمُهُمْ إِيَّاهَا، يَجْلِسُ بَنُوهُمْ أَيْضاً عَلَى عَرْشِكَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ».

If your children will deep my covenant, and these my testimonies which I shall teach them, their children also shall sit upon your throne for ever.

١٣ 13 لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدِ اخْتَارَ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَرَغِبَ أَن تَكُونَ لَهُ مَسْكَناً.

For the Lord has elected Sion, he has chosen her for a habitation for himself, [saying],

١٤ 14 وَقَالَ: «هَذِهِ مَقَرُّ رَاحَتِي إِلَى الأَبَدِ، فِيهَا أَسْكُنُ لأَنِّي أَحْبَبْتُهَا.

This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have chosen it.

١٥ 15 أُبَارِكُ غَلَّاتِهَا بَرَكَةً جَزِيلَةً، وَأُشْبِعُ مَسَاكِينَهَا خُبْزاً.

I will surely bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.

١٦ 16 أُلْبِسُ كَهَنَتَهَا ثَوْبَ الْخَلاصِ، فَيَهْتِفُ قِدِّيسُوهَا مُتَرَنِّمِينَ.

I will clothe her priests with salvation; and her saints shall greatly exult.

١٧ 17 أُقِيمُ هُنَاكَ مَلِكاً عَظِيماً مِنْ أَصْلِ دَاوُدَ، وَأُعِدُّ سِرَاجاً مُنِيراً لِمَنْ أَمْسَحُهُ.

There will I cause to spring up a horn to David: I have prepared a lamp for mine anointed.

١٨ 18 أَكْسُو أَعْدَاءَهُ خِزْياً. أَمَّا هُوَ، فَعَلَى رَأْسِهِ يَتَأَلَّقُ تَاجُهُ».

His enemies will I clothe with a shame; but upon himself shall my holiness flourish.
