Psalms 132

1 A Song of degrees. LORD, remember David [and] all his afflictions;

上行之詩。 耶和華啊，求你記念大衛所受的一切苦難！

2 How he swore to the LORD, [and] vowed to the mighty [God] of Jacob;

他怎樣向耶和華起誓， 向雅各的大能者許願，

3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;

說：我必不進我的帳幕， 也不上我的床榻；

4 I will not give sleep to my eyes, [or] slumber to my eyelids,

我不容我的眼睛睡覺， 也不容我的眼目打盹；

5 Until I find a place for the LORD, a habitation for the mighty [God] of Jacob.

直等我為耶和華尋得所在， 為雅各的大能者尋得居所。

6 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.

我們聽說約櫃在以法他， 我們在基列‧耶琳就尋見了。

7 We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.

我們要進他的居所， 在他腳凳前下拜。

8 Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.

耶和華啊，求你興起， 和你有能力的約櫃同入安息之所！

9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.

願你的祭司披上公義！ 願你的聖民歡呼！

10 For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thy anointed.

求你因你僕人大衛的緣故， 不要厭棄你的受膏者！

11 The LORD hath sworn [in] truth to David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.

耶和華向大衛、憑誠實起了誓， 必不反覆，說： 我要使你所生的 坐在你的寶座上。

12 If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them; their children also shall sit upon thy throne for ever.

你的眾子若守我的約 和我所教訓他們的法度， 他們的子孫必永遠坐在你的寶座上。

13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired [it] for his habitation.

因為耶和華揀選了錫安， 願意當作自己的居所，

14 This [is] my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.

說：這是我永遠安息之所； 我要住在這裏， 因為是我所願意的。

15 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.

我要使其中的糧食豐滿， 使其中的窮人飽足。

16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

我要使祭司披上救恩， 聖民大聲歡呼！

17 There will I make the horn of David to bud, I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.

我要叫大衛的角在那裏發生； 我為我的受膏者預備明燈。

18 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.

我要使他的仇敵披上羞恥； 但他的冠冕要在頭上發光。
