Psalms 132

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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