Psalms 132

1 A Song of Ascents. Remember, O Yahweh, unto David, all his humiliations!

A Song of Degrees. Lord, remember David, and all his meekness:

2 What he Sware to Yahweh, —Vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

how he sware to the Lord, [and] vowed to the God of Jacob, [saying],

3 Surely I will not enter the home of my own house, nor ascend my curtained couch;

I will not go into the tabernacle of my house; I will not go up to the couch of my bed;

4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, nor, to mine eye-lashes, slumber:

I will not give sleep to mine eyes, nor slumber to mine eyelids, nor rest to my temples,

5 Until I find a place for Yahweh, habitations for the Mighty One of Jacob.

until I find a place for the Lord, a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.

6 Lo! we heard of it at Ephrathah, we found it in the fields of the wood.

Behold, we heard of it in Ephratha; we found it in the fields of the wood.

7 We would enter his habitations, we would bow down at his footstool.

Let us enter into his tabernacles: let us worship at the place where his feet stood.

8 Arise! O Yahweh, unto thy place of rest, Thou, and the ark of thy strength.

Arise, O Lord, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thine holiness.

9 Thy priests, let them be clothed with righteousness, Thy men of lovingkindness, let them shout for joy!

Thy priests shall clothe themselves with righteousness; and thy saints shall exult.

10 For the sake of David thy servant, do not turn away the face of thine Anointed One.

For the sake of thy servant David turn not away the face of thine anointed.

11 Yahweh hath sworn unto David, in faithfulness, will he not turn from it, —Of the fruit of thy body, will I seat on thy throne.

The Lord sware [in] truth to David, and he will not annul it, [saying], Of the fruit of thy body will I set [a king] upon thy throne.

12 If thy sons keep my covenant, and my testimony which I will teach them, even their sons, unto futurity, shall sit on thy throne.

If thy children will deep my covenant, and these my testimonies which I shall teach them, their children also shall sit upon thy throne for ever.

13 For Yahweh hath chosen Zion, —He hath desired it as a dwelling for himself:

For the Lord has elected Sion, he has chosen her for a habitation for himself, [saying],

14 This, is my place of rest unto futurity, Here, will I dwell, for I have desired it;

This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have chosen it.

15 Her provision, will I abundantly bless, Her needy ones, will I satisfy with bread;

I will surely bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.

16 And, her priests, will I clothe with salvation, and, her men of lovingkindness, shall, shout aloud, for joy;

I will clothe her priests with salvation; and her saints shall greatly exult.

17 There, will I cause to bud a horn to David, I have prepared a lamp for mine Anointed One;

There will I cause to spring up a horn to David: I have prepared a lamp for mine anointed.

18 His enemies, will I clothe with shame, but, upon himself, shall his crown be resplendent.

His enemies will I clothe with a shame; but upon himself shall my holiness flourish.
