Psalms 132

1 A song of ascents. Yahweh, for David's sake call to mind all his afflictions.

上主，求您以慈愛懷念達味，和他所有的一切焦思勞瘁：

2 Call to mind how he swore to Yahweh, how he vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob.

因為他曾向上主立過了誓言，向雅各伯的全能者許過願：

3 He said, “I will not enter my house or get into my bed,

我決不進入我住家中的帳幔，也決不登上我躺臥的床沿，

4 I will not give sleep to my eyes or rest to my eyelids

不容許我的眼睛睡眠，也不讓我的眼臉安閑，

5 until I find a place for Yahweh, a tabernacle for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

直到我給上主尋找到一個處所，給雅各伯的全能者將居地覓妥。

6 See, we heard about it in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.

看，我們聽說約櫃在厄弗辣大，我們在雅阿爾的平原找到了它。

7 We will go into God's tabernacle; we will worship at his footstool.

大家一同進祂的居所，並在祂的腳凳下崇拜說：

8 Arise, Yahweh, to your resting place, you and the ark of your strength!

上主，請您和您威嚴的約櫃，起來駕臨到您安息的住宅，

9 May your priests be clothed with integrity; may your faithful ones shout for joy.

願您的司祭身披正義，願您的信徒踴躍歡喜。

10 For your servant David's sake, do not turn away from your anointed king.

為了您僕人達味的情面，不要將您的受傅者輕看！

11 Yahweh swore a sure oath to David, a sure oath that he will not revoke: “I will place one of your descendants on your throne.

上主既然向達味起了誓，真理的約言決不再收回：我要使您的親生兒子，榮登上您自己的王位；

12 If your sons keep my covenant and the laws that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forevermore.”

若您的子孫遵守我的誓言，也遵守我教訓他們的法典，連他們的子孫代代世世，也必定要坐上您的王位。

13 Certainly Yahweh has chosen Zion, he has desired her for his seat.

的確上主特別揀選了熙雍，希望熙雍作為自己的王宮：

14 “This is my resting place forever. I will live here, for I desire her.

就是我的永遠安息之處，我希望的是常在這裏居住。

15 I will abundantly bless her with provisions. I will satisfy her poor with bread.

我要祝福這裏的食糧充裕，窮人都無憂並且吃得飽飫，

16 I will clothe her priests with salvation, her faithful ones will shout aloud for joy.

使這裏的司祭得蒙救助，使這裏的信徒踴躍歡愉。

17 There I will make a horn to sprout for David and set up a lamp for my anointed one.

在這裏我要使達味的頭角高聳，我要給我的受傅者備妥明燈，

18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on him his crown will shine.”

我要使他的敵人個個恥辱備嘗，我要使他的王冠在頭上發光。
