Psalms 132

1 [the] song of The ascents remember O Yahweh to David all being afflicted he.

Yahweh, do not forget [King] David and all the hardships/troubles he endured!

2 Who he swore an oath to Yahweh he vowed to [the] mighty one of Jacob.

He made a solemn promise to you, the mighty God whom [our ancestor] Jacob [worshiped].

3 If I will go in [the] tent of house my if I will go up on [the] couch of beds my.

He said, “I will not go home, I will not [rest] on my bed,

4 If I will give sleep to eyes my to eyelids my slumber.

I will not sleep at all

5 Until I will find a place for Yahweh dwelling place for [the] mighty one of Jacob.

until I build a place for Yahweh, a home for the mighty God whom Jacob [worshiped].”

6 Here! we heard of it in Ephrathah we found it in [the] fields of Jaar.

In Bethlehem we heard news about the sacred chest. We [went and] found it in the fields of Jearim [city, and we took it to Jerusalem].

7 Let us go to dwelling place his let us bow down to [the] footstool of feet his.

[Later we said], “Let’s go to the temple of Yahweh [in Jerusalem]; let’s worship [there] in front of the throne [where he sits].”

8 Arise! O Yahweh to resting place your you and [the] ark of strength your.

Yahweh, come to the place where you live eternally, to the place where your sacred chest is, to that place that shows that you are very powerful.

9 Priests your let them be clothed righteousness and faithful [people] your let them shout for joy.

I want/desire that the righteous behavior of your priests [will always be evident], [just like the beautiful] robes that they wear [MET], and that your people will [always] shout joyfully.

10 For sake of David servant your may not you turn away [the] face of anointed your.

You chose David to serve you [as king of Israel]; do not reject/abandon him!

11 He swore an oath Yahweh - to David faithfulness not he will turn back from it one of [the] fruit of belly your I will set to throne of you.

Yahweh, you made a solemn promise to David, a promise that you will not break. You said, “I will cause your descendants to rule [MTY] as kings like you.

12 If they will keep sons your - covenant my and testimonies my which I will teach them also sons their until perpetuity they will sit to throne of you.

If they keep my agreement with them and obey [all] the commands that I will give them, the line of kings descended from you will never end.”

13 For he has chosen Yahweh Zion he has desired it to a dwelling place of him.

Yahweh has chosen Jerusalem; he has wanted to make that city his home;

14 This [is] resting place my until perpetuity here I will dwell for I have desired it.

he said, “This is the city where I will live forever [DOU]; this is the place where I wanted to stay.

15 Provision[s] its certainly I will bless needy [people] its I will satisfy food.

I will give to the people of Jerusalem all that they need; I will give [enough] food [even] to satisfy the poor people there.

16 And priests its I will clothe salvation and faithful [people] its certainly they will shout for joy.

I will cause the priests [to behave in a manner worthy of] being ones whom I have saved; [that will be as evident as the beautiful] robes that they wear [MET]; and all my people who live there will shout joyfully.

17 There I will make grow a horn for David I have set in order a lamp for anointed my.

There [in Jerusalem] I will cause one of David’s descendants [MET] to become a great king; he also will be my chosen king, and he will be [like a bright] lamp [MET] [that shines continually].

18 Enemies his I will clothe shame and on him it will shine crown his.

I will [defeat his] enemies and cause them to be very ashamed/disgraced; but the crown that my king wears will [always] shine.”
