< Psalms 132 >

1 A Song of Ascents. Jehovah, remember for David All his affliction;
שִׁ֗יר הַֽמַּ֫עֲלֹ֥ות זְכֹור־יְהוָ֥ה לְדָוִ֑ד אֵ֝ת כָּל־עֻנֹּותֹֽו׃
2 How he sware unto Jehovah, And vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob:
אֲשֶׁ֣ר נִ֭שְׁבַּע לַיהוָ֑ה נָ֝דַ֗ר לַאֲבִ֥יר יַעֲקֹֽב׃
3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, Nor go up into my bed;
אִם־אָ֭בֹא בְּאֹ֣הֶל בֵּיתִ֑י אִם־אֶ֝עֱלֶ֗ה עַל־עֶ֥רֶשׂ יְצוּעָֽי׃
4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, Or slumber to mine eyelids;
אִם־אֶתֵּ֣ן שְׁנַ֣ת לְעֵינָ֑י לְֽעַפְעַפַּ֥י תְּנוּמָֽה׃
5 Until I find out a place for Jehovah, A tabernacle for the Mighty One of Jacob.
עַד־אֶמְצָ֣א מָ֭קֹום לַיהוָ֑ה מִ֝שְׁכָּנֹ֗ות לַאֲבִ֥יר יַעֲקֹֽב׃
6 Lo, we heard of it in Ephrathah: We found it in the field of the wood.
הִנֵּֽה־שְׁמַֽעֲנ֥וּהָ בְאֶפְרָ֑תָה מְ֝צָאנ֗וּהָ בִּשְׂדֵי־יָֽעַר׃
7 We will go into his tabernacles; We will worship at his footstool.
נָבֹ֥ואָה לְמִשְׁכְּנֹותָ֑יו נִ֝שְׁתַּחֲוֶ֗ה לַהֲדֹ֥ם רַגְלָֽיו׃
8 Arise, O Jehovah, into thy resting-place; Thou, and the ark of thy strength.
קוּמָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה לִמְנוּחָתֶ֑ךָ אַ֝תָּ֗ה וַאֲרֹ֥ון עֻזֶּֽךָ׃
9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; And let thy saints shout for joy.
כֹּהֲנֶ֥יךָ יִלְבְּשׁוּ־צֶ֑דֶק וַחֲסִידֶ֥יךָ יְרַנֵּֽנוּ׃
10 For thy servant David’s sake Turn not away the face of thine anointed.
בַּ֭עֲבוּר דָּוִ֣ד עַבְדֶּ֑ךָ אַל־תָּ֝שֵׁ֗ב פְּנֵ֣י מְשִׁיחֶֽךָ׃
11 Jehovah hath sworn unto David in truth; He will not turn from it: Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
נִשְׁבַּֽע־יְהוָ֨ה ׀ לְדָוִ֡ד אֱמֶת֮ לֹֽא־יָשׁ֪וּב מִ֫מֶּ֥נָּה מִפְּרִ֥י בִטְנְךָ֑ אָ֝שִׁ֗ית לְכִסֵּא־לָֽךְ׃
12 If thy children will keep my covenant And my testimony that I shall teach them, Their children also shall sit upon thy throne for evermore.
אִֽם־יִשְׁמְר֬וּ בָנֶ֨יךָ ׀ בְּרִיתִי֮ וְעֵדֹתִ֥י זֹ֗ו אֲלַ֫מְּדֵ֥ם גַּם־בְּנֵיהֶ֥ם עֲדֵי־עַ֑ד יֵ֝שְׁב֗וּ לְכִסֵּא־לָֽךְ׃
13 For Jehovah hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it for his habitation.
כִּֽי־בָחַ֣ר יְהוָ֣ה בְּצִיֹּ֑ון אִ֝וָּ֗הּ לְמֹושָׁ֥ב לֹֽו׃
14 This is my resting-place for ever: Here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
זֹאת־מְנוּחָתִ֥י עֲדֵי־עַ֑ד פֹּֽה־אֵ֝שֵׁ֗ב כִּ֣י אִוִּתִֽיהָ׃
15 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.
צֵ֭ידָהּ בָּרֵ֣ךְ אֲבָרֵ֑ךְ אֶ֝בְיֹונֶ֗יהָ אַשְׂבִּ֥יעַֽ לָֽחֶם׃
16 Her priests also will I clothe with salvation; And her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
וְֽ֭כֹהֲנֶיהָ אַלְבִּ֣ישׁ יֶ֑שַׁע וַ֝חֲסִידֶ֗יהָ רַנֵּ֥ן יְרַנֵּֽנוּ׃
17 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.
שָׁ֤ם אַצְמִ֣יחַ קֶ֣רֶן לְדָוִ֑ד עָרַ֥כְתִּי נֵ֝֗ר לִמְשִׁיחִֽי׃
18 His enemies will I clothe with shame; But upon himself shall his crown flourish.
אֹ֭ויְבָיו אַלְבִּ֣ישׁ בֹּ֑שֶׁת וְ֝עָלָ֗יו יָצִ֥יץ נִזְרֹֽו׃
