< Psalms 132 >

1 [A Song of Ascents.] LORD, remember David and all his affliction,
שִׁ֗יר הַֽמַּ֫עֲלֹ֥ות זְכֹור־יְהוָ֥ה לְדָוִ֑ד אֵ֝ת כָּל־עֻנֹּותֹֽו׃
2 how he swore to the LORD, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
אֲשֶׁ֣ר נִ֭שְׁבַּע לַיהוָ֑ה נָ֝דַ֗ר לַאֲבִ֥יר יַעֲקֹֽב׃
3 "Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, nor go up into my bed;
אִם־אָ֭בֹא בְּאֹ֣הֶל בֵּיתִ֑י אִם־אֶ֝עֱלֶ֗ה עַל־עֶ֥רֶשׂ יְצוּעָֽי׃
4 I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids;
אִם־אֶתֵּ֣ן שְׁנַ֣ת לְעֵינָ֑י לְֽעַפְעַפַּ֥י תְּנוּמָֽה׃
5 until I find out a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob."
עַד־אֶמְצָ֣א מָ֭קֹום לַיהוָ֑ה מִ֝שְׁכָּנֹ֗ות לַאֲבִ֥יר יַעֲקֹֽב׃
6 Look, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar:
הִנֵּֽה־שְׁמַֽעֲנ֥וּהָ בְאֶפְרָ֑תָה מְ֝צָאנ֗וּהָ בִּשְׂדֵי־יָֽעַר׃
7 "We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at his footstool.
נָבֹ֥ואָה לְמִשְׁכְּנֹותָ֑יו נִ֝שְׁתַּחֲוֶ֗ה לַהֲדֹ֥ם רַגְלָֽיו׃
8 Arise, LORD, to your resting place, you and the ark of your strength.
קוּמָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה לִמְנוּחָתֶ֑ךָ אַ֝תָּ֗ה וַאֲרֹ֥ון עֻזֶּֽךָ׃
9 Let your priest be clothed with righteousness. Let your faithful ones shout for joy."
כֹּהֲנֶ֥יךָ יִלְבְּשׁוּ־צֶ֑דֶק וַחֲסִידֶ֥יךָ יְרַנֵּֽנוּ׃
10 For your servant David's sake, do not turn away the face of your anointed one.
בַּ֭עֲבוּר דָּוִ֣ד עַבְדֶּ֑ךָ אַל־תָּ֝שֵׁ֗ב פְּנֵ֣י מְשִׁיחֶֽךָ׃
11 The LORD has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: "I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.
נִשְׁבַּֽע־יְהוָ֨ה ׀ לְדָוִ֡ד אֱמֶת֮ לֹֽא־יָשׁ֪וּב מִ֫מֶּ֥נָּה מִפְּרִ֥י בִטְנְךָ֑ אָ֝שִׁ֗ית לְכִסֵּא־לָֽךְ׃
12 If your children will keep my covenant, my testimony that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forevermore."
אִֽם־יִשְׁמְר֬וּ בָנֶ֨יךָ ׀ בְּרִיתִי֮ וְעֵדֹתִ֥י זֹ֗ו אֲלַ֫מְּדֵ֥ם גַּם־בְּנֵיהֶ֥ם עֲדֵי־עַ֑ד יֵ֝שְׁב֗וּ לְכִסֵּא־לָֽךְ׃
13 For the LORD has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his dwelling.
כִּֽי־בָחַ֣ר יְהוָ֣ה בְּצִיֹּ֑ון אִ֝וָּ֗הּ לְמֹושָׁ֥ב לֹֽו׃
14 "This is my resting place forever. Here I will live, for I have desired it.
זֹאת־מְנוּחָתִ֥י עֲדֵי־עַ֑ד פֹּֽה־אֵ֝שֵׁ֗ב כִּ֣י אִוִּתִֽיהָ׃
15 I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread.
צֵ֭ידָהּ בָּרֵ֣ךְ אֲבָרֵ֑ךְ אֶ֝בְיֹונֶ֗יהָ אַשְׂבִּ֥יעַֽ לָֽחֶם׃
16 Her priests I will also clothe with salvation. Her faithful ones will shout aloud for joy.
וְֽ֭כֹהֲנֶיהָ אַלְבִּ֣ישׁ יֶ֑שַׁע וַ֝חֲסִידֶ֗יהָ רַנֵּ֥ן יְרַנֵּֽנוּ׃
17 There I will make the horn of David to bud. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.
שָׁ֤ם אַצְמִ֣יחַ קֶ֣רֶן לְדָוִ֑ד עָרַ֥כְתִּי נֵ֝֗ר לִמְשִׁיחִֽי׃
18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will be resplendent."
אֹ֭ויְבָיו אַלְבִּ֣ישׁ בֹּ֑שֶׁת וְ֝עָלָ֗יו יָצִ֥יץ נִזְרֹֽו׃
