< Psalms 132 >

1 A Song of the going up. Lord, give thought to David, and to all his troubles;
שִׁיר הַֽמַּעֲלוֹת זְכוֹר־יְהֹוָה לְדָוִד אֵת כׇּל־עֻנּוֹתֽוֹ׃
2 How he made an oath to the Lord, and gave his word to the great God of Jacob, saying,
אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּע לַֽיהֹוָה נָדַר לַאֲבִיר יַעֲקֹֽב׃
3 Truly, I will not come into my house, or go to my bed,
אִם־אָבֹא בְּאֹהֶל בֵּיתִי אִם־אֶעֱלֶה עַל־עֶרֶשׂ יְצוּעָֽי׃
4 I will not give sleep to my eyes, or rest to my eyeballs,
אִם־אֶתֵּן שְׁנַת לְעֵינָי לְֽעַפְעַפַּי תְּנוּמָֽה׃
5 Till I have got a place for the Lord, a resting-place for the great God of Jacob.
עַד־אֶמְצָא מָקוֹם לַיהֹוָה מִשְׁכָּנוֹת לַאֲבִיר יַעֲקֹֽב׃
6 We had news of it at Ephrathah: we came to it in the fields of the wood.
הִנֵּֽה־שְׁמַעֲנוּהָ בְאֶפְרָתָה מְצָאנוּהָ בִּשְׂדֵי־יָֽעַר׃
7 Let us go into his tent; let us give worship at his feet.
נָבוֹאָה לְמִשְׁכְּנוֹתָיו נִשְׁתַּחֲוֶה לַהֲדֹם רַגְלָֽיו׃
8 Come back, O Lord, to your resting-place; you and the ark of your strength.
קוּמָה יְהֹוָה לִמְנוּחָתֶךָ אַתָּה וַאֲרוֹן עֻזֶּֽךָ׃
9 Let your priests be clothed with righteousness; and let your saints give cries of joy.
כֹּהֲנֶיךָ יִלְבְּשׁוּ־צֶדֶק וַחֲסִידֶיךָ יְרַנֵּֽנוּ׃
10 Because of your servant David, do not give up your king.
בַּֽעֲבוּר דָּוִד עַבְדֶּךָ אַל־תָּשֵׁב פְּנֵי מְשִׁיחֶֽךָ׃
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.
נִשְׁבַּֽע־יְהֹוָה ׀ לְדָוִד אֱמֶת לֹא־יָשׁוּב מִמֶּנָּה מִפְּרִי בִטְנְךָ אָשִׁית לְכִסֵּא־לָֽךְ׃
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.
אִֽם־יִשְׁמְרוּ בָנֶיךָ ׀ בְּרִיתִי וְעֵדֹתִי זוֹ אֲלַמְּדֵם גַּם־בְּנֵיהֶם עֲדֵי־עַד יֵשְׁבוּ לְכִסֵּא־לָֽךְ׃
13 For the Lord's heart is on Zion, desiring it for his resting-place.
כִּי־בָחַר יְהֹוָה בְּצִיּוֹן אִוָּהּ לְמוֹשָׁב לֽוֹ׃
14 This is my rest for ever: here will I ever be; for this is my desire.
זֹאת־מְנוּחָתִי עֲדֵי־עַד פֹּה־אֵשֵׁב כִּי אִוִּתִֽיהָ׃
15 My blessing will be on her food; and her poor will be full of bread.
צֵידָהּ בָּרֵךְ אֲבָרֵךְ אֶבְיוֹנֶיהָ אַשְׂבִּיעַֽ לָֽחֶם׃
16 Her priests will be clothed with salvation; and her saints will give cries of joy.
וְֽכֹהֲנֶיהָ אַלְבִּישׁ יֶשַׁע וַחֲסִידֶיהָ רַנֵּן יְרַנֵּֽנוּ׃
17 There I will make the horn of David fertile: I have made ready a light for my king.
שָׁם אַצְמִיחַ קֶרֶן לְדָוִד עָרַכְתִּי נֵר לִמְשִׁיחִֽי׃
18 His haters will be clothed with shame; but I will make his crown shining.
אוֹיְבָיו אַלְבִּישׁ בֹּשֶׁת וְעָלָיו יָצִיץ נִזְרֽוֹ׃
