Psalms 132

1 A Song of the going up. Lord, give thought to David, and to all his troubles;

上行之詩。 耶和華啊，求你記念大衛所受的一切苦難！

2 How he made an oath to the Lord, and gave his word to the great God of Jacob, saying,

他怎樣向耶和華起誓， 向雅各的大能者許願，

3 Truly, I will not come into my house, or go to my bed,

說：我必不進我的帳幕， 也不上我的床榻；

4 I will not give sleep to my eyes, or rest to my eyeballs,

我不容我的眼睛睡覺， 也不容我的眼目打盹；

5 Till I have got a place for the Lord, a resting-place for the great God of Jacob.

直等我為耶和華尋得所在， 為雅各的大能者尋得居所。

6 We had news of it at Ephrathah: we came to it in the fields of the wood.

我們聽說約櫃在以法他， 我們在基列‧耶琳就尋見了。

7 Let us go into his tent; let us give worship at his feet.

我們要進他的居所， 在他腳凳前下拜。

8 Come back, O Lord, to your resting-place; you and the ark of your strength.

耶和華啊，求你興起， 和你有能力的約櫃同入安息之所！

9 Let your priests be clothed with righteousness; and let your saints give cries of joy.

願你的祭司披上公義！ 願你的聖民歡呼！

10 Because of your servant David, do not give up your king.

求你因你僕人大衛的緣故， 不要厭棄你的受膏者！

11 The Lord gave a true oath to David, which he will not take back, saying, I will give your kingdom to the fruit of your body.

耶和華向大衛、憑誠實起了誓， 必不反覆，說： 我要使你所生的 坐在你的寶座上。

12 If your children keep my word, and the teachings which I will give them, their children will be rulers of your kingdom for ever.

你的眾子若守我的約 和我所教訓他們的法度， 他們的子孫必永遠坐在你的寶座上。

13 For the Lord's heart is on Zion, desiring it for his resting-place.

因為耶和華揀選了錫安， 願意當作自己的居所，

14 This is my rest for ever: here will I ever be; for this is my desire.

說：這是我永遠安息之所； 我要住在這裏， 因為是我所願意的。

15 My blessing will be on her food; and her poor will be full of bread.

我要使其中的糧食豐滿， 使其中的窮人飽足。

16 Her priests will be clothed with salvation; and her saints will give cries of joy.

我要使祭司披上救恩， 聖民大聲歡呼！

17 There I will make the horn of David fertile: I have made ready a light for my king.

我要叫大衛的角在那裏發生； 我為我的受膏者預備明燈。

18 His haters will be clothed with shame; but I will make his crown shining.

我要使他的仇敵披上羞恥； 但他的冠冕要在頭上發光。
