Psalms 132

1 Jehovah, remember for David all his affliction,

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. Remember, YHWH, for David, all his afflictions;

2 how he swore to Jehovah, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

Who has sworn to YHWH, He has vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed,

“If I enter into the tent of my house, If I go up on the couch of my bed,

4 I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids,

If I give sleep to my eyes, To my eyelids—slumber,

5 until I find out a place for Jehovah, a tabernacle for the Mighty One of Jacob.

Until I find a place for YHWH, dwelling places for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

6 Lo, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of the wood.

Behold, we have heard it in Ephratah, We have found it in the fields of the forest.

7 We will go into his tabernacles. We will worship at his footstool.

We come into His dwelling places, We bow ourselves at His footstool.

8 Arise, O Jehovah, into thy resting-place, thou, and the ark of thy strength.

Arise, O YHWH, to Your rest, You, and the Ark of Your strength,

9 Let thy priest be clothed with righteousness, and let thy sanctified shout for joy.

Your priests put on righteousness, And Your pious ones cry aloud.

10 For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.

For the sake of Your servant David, Do not turn back the face of Your anointed.

11 Jehovah has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: From the fruit of thy body I will set upon thy throne.

YHWH has sworn truth to David, He does not turn back from it: “Of the fruit of your body, I set on the throne for you.

12 If thy sons will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their sons also shall sit upon thy throne for evermore.

If your sons keep My covenant, And My testimonies that I teach them, Their sons also forever and ever Sit on the throne for you.”

13 For Jehovah has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation.

For YHWH has fixed on Zion, He has desired [it] for a seat to Himself,

14 This is my resting place forever. Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.

“This [is] My rest forever and ever, Here I sit, for I have desired it.

15 I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread.

I greatly bless her provision, I satisfy her poor [with] bread,

16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation, and her sanctified shall shout aloud for joy.

And I clothe her priests [with] salvation, And her pious ones sing aloud.

17 There I will make the horn of David to bud. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.

There I cause a horn to spring up for David, I have arranged a lamp for My Anointed.

18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, but upon himself his crown shall flourish.

I clothe His enemies [with] shame, And His crown flourishes on Him!”
