Psalms 132
1 A song of degrees. Lord, remember Dauid with all his affliction.
Adonai, remember David [Beloved] and all his affliction,
2 Who sware vnto the Lord, and vowed vnto the mightie God of Iaakob, saying,
how he swore to Adonai, and vowed to the 'Avir Ya'akov [Mighty One of Supplanter]:
3 I will not enter into the tabernacle of mine house, nor come vpon my pallet or bed,
“Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, nor go up into my bed;
4 Nor suffer mine eyes to sleepe, nor mine eye lids to slumber,
I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids;
5 Vntill I finde out a place for the Lord, an habitation for the mightie God of Iaakob.
until I find out a place for Adonai, a dwelling for the 'Avir Ya'akov [Mighty One of Supplanter].”
6 Lo, we heard of it in Ephrathah, and found it in the fieldes of the forest.
Behold, we sh'ma ·heard obeyed· of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar:
7 We will enter into his Tabernacles, and worship before his footestoole.
“We will go into his dwelling place. We will hawa ·bow low, prostrate· to worship at his footstool.
8 Arise, O Lord, to come into thy rest, thou, and the Arke of thy strength.
Arise, Adonai, into your resting place; you, and the ark of your strength.
9 Let thy Priests be clothed with righteousnesse, and let thy Saints reioyce.
Let your priest be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!”
10 For thy seruant Dauids sake refuse not the face of thine Anointed.
For your servant David [Beloved]’s sake, don’t turn away the face of your anointed one.
11 The Lord hath sworne in trueth vnto Dauid, and he wil not shrinke from it, saying, Of the fruite of thy body will I set vpon thy throne.
Adonai has sworn to David [Beloved] in truth. He will not turn from it: “I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.
12 If thy sonnes keepe my couenant, and my testimonies, that I shall teach them, their sonnes also shall sit vpon thy throne for euer.
If your children will keep my covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties·, my testimony that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forever more.”
13 For the Lord hath chosen Zion, and loued to dwell in it, saying,
For Adonai has chosen Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking]. He has desired it for his habitation.
14 This is my rest for euer: here will I dwell, for I haue a delite therein.
“This is my resting place forever. Here I will live, for I have desired it.
15 I will surely blesse her vitailes, and will satisfie her poore with bread,
I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16 And will clothe her Priests with saluation, and her Saints shall shoute for ioye.
Her priests I will also clothe with yesha' ·salvation·. Her saints will shout aloud for joy.
17 There will I make the horne of Dauid to bud: for I haue ordeined a light for mine Anoynted.
There I will make the horn of David [Beloved] to bud. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.
18 His enemies will I clothe with shame, but on him his crowne shall florish.
I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will be resplendent.”
