Psalms 132

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

A Song of the Ascents. Remember, Jehovah, for David, all his afflictions.

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

Who hath sworn to Jehovah. He hath vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

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

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

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

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

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

Till I do find a place for Jehovah, Tabernacles for the Mighty One of Jacob.

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

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

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

We come in to His tabernacles, We bow ourselves at His footstool.

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

Arise, O Jehovah, to Thy rest, Thou, and the ark of Thy strength,

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

Thy priests do put on righteousness, And Thy pious ones cry aloud.

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

For the sake of David Thy servant, Turn not back the face of Thine anointed.

11 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.

Jehovah hath sworn truth to David, He turneth not back from it: Of the fruit of thy body, I set on the throne for thee.

12 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.”

If thy sons keep My covenant, And My testimonies that I teach them, Their sons also for ever and ever, Do sit on the throne for thee.

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

For Jehovah hath fixed on Zion, He hath desired [it] for a seat to Himself,

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

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

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

Her provision I greatly bless, Her needy ones I satisfy [with] bread,

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

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

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

There I cause to spring up a horn for David, I have arranged a lamp for Mine anointed.

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

His enemies I do clothe [with] shame, And upon him doth his crown flourish!
