< Psalms 132 >

1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. Remember, YHWH, for David, all his afflictions;
שִׁיר הַֽמַּעֲלוֹת זְכוֹר־יְהֹוָה לְדָוִד אֵת כׇּל־עֻנּוֹתֽוֹ׃
2 Who has sworn to YHWH, He has vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּע לַֽיהֹוָה נָדַר לַאֲבִיר יַעֲקֹֽב׃
3 “If I enter into the tent of my house, If I go up on the couch of my bed,
אִם־אָבֹא בְּאֹהֶל בֵּיתִי אִם־אֶעֱלֶה עַל־עֶרֶשׂ יְצוּעָֽי׃
4 If I give sleep to my eyes, To my eyelids—slumber,
אִם־אֶתֵּן שְׁנַת לְעֵינָי לְֽעַפְעַפַּי תְּנוּמָֽה׃
5 Until I find a place for YHWH, dwelling places for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
עַד־אֶמְצָא מָקוֹם לַיהֹוָה מִשְׁכָּנוֹת לַאֲבִיר יַעֲקֹֽב׃
6 Behold, we have heard it in Ephratah, We have found it in the fields of the forest.
הִנֵּֽה־שְׁמַעֲנוּהָ בְאֶפְרָתָה מְצָאנוּהָ בִּשְׂדֵי־יָֽעַר׃
7 We come into His dwelling places, We bow ourselves at His footstool.
נָבוֹאָה לְמִשְׁכְּנוֹתָיו נִשְׁתַּחֲוֶה לַהֲדֹם רַגְלָֽיו׃
8 Arise, O YHWH, to Your rest, You, and the Ark of Your strength,
קוּמָה יְהֹוָה לִמְנוּחָתֶךָ אַתָּה וַאֲרוֹן עֻזֶּֽךָ׃
9 Your priests put on righteousness, And Your pious ones cry aloud.
כֹּהֲנֶיךָ יִלְבְּשׁוּ־צֶדֶק וַחֲסִידֶיךָ יְרַנֵּֽנוּ׃
10 For the sake of Your servant David, Do not turn back the face of Your anointed.
בַּֽעֲבוּר דָּוִד עַבְדֶּךָ אַל־תָּשֵׁב פְּנֵי מְשִׁיחֶֽךָ׃
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.
נִשְׁבַּֽע־יְהֹוָה ׀ לְדָוִד אֱמֶת לֹא־יָשׁוּב מִמֶּנָּה מִפְּרִי בִטְנְךָ אָשִׁית לְכִסֵּא־לָֽךְ׃
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.”
אִֽם־יִשְׁמְרוּ בָנֶיךָ ׀ בְּרִיתִי וְעֵדֹתִי זוֹ אֲלַמְּדֵם גַּם־בְּנֵיהֶם עֲדֵי־עַד יֵשְׁבוּ לְכִסֵּא־לָֽךְ׃
13 For YHWH has fixed on Zion, He has desired [it] for a seat to Himself,
כִּי־בָחַר יְהֹוָה בְּצִיּוֹן אִוָּהּ לְמוֹשָׁב לֽוֹ׃
14 “This [is] My rest forever and ever, Here I sit, for I have desired it.
זֹאת־מְנוּחָתִי עֲדֵי־עַד פֹּה־אֵשֵׁב כִּי אִוִּתִֽיהָ׃
15 I greatly bless her provision, I satisfy her poor [with] bread,
צֵידָהּ בָּרֵךְ אֲבָרֵךְ אֶבְיוֹנֶיהָ אַשְׂבִּיעַֽ לָֽחֶם׃
16 And I clothe her priests [with] salvation, And her pious ones sing aloud.
וְֽכֹהֲנֶיהָ אַלְבִּישׁ יֶשַׁע וַחֲסִידֶיהָ רַנֵּן יְרַנֵּֽנוּ׃
17 There I cause a horn to spring up for David, I have arranged a lamp for My Anointed.
שָׁם אַצְמִיחַ קֶרֶן לְדָוִד עָרַכְתִּי נֵר לִמְשִׁיחִֽי׃
18 I clothe His enemies [with] shame, And His crown flourishes on Him!”
אוֹיְבָיו אַלְבִּישׁ בֹּשֶׁת וְעָלָיו יָצִיץ נִזְרֽוֹ׃
