< Psalms 132 >

1 A Song of degrees. LORD, remember David [and] all his afflictions;
שִׁיר הַֽמַּעֲלוֹת זְכוֹר־יְהוָה לְדָוִד אֵת כָּל־עֻנּוֹתֽוֹ׃
2 How he swore to the LORD, [and] vowed to the mighty [God] of Jacob;
אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּע לַיהוָה נָדַר לַאֲבִיר יַעֲקֹֽב׃
3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;
אִם־אָבֹא בְּאֹהֶל בֵּיתִי אִם־אֶעֱלֶה עַל־עֶרֶשׂ יְצוּעָֽי׃
4 I will not give sleep to my eyes, [or] slumber to my eyelids,
אִם־אֶתֵּן שְׁנַת לְעֵינָי לְֽעַפְעַפַּי תְּנוּמָֽה׃
5 Until I find a place for the LORD, a habitation for the mighty [God] of Jacob.
עַד־אֶמְצָא מָקוֹם לַיהוָה מִשְׁכָּנוֹת לַאֲבִיר יַעֲקֹֽב׃
6 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.
הִנֵּֽה־שְׁמַֽעֲנוּהָ בְאֶפְרָתָה מְצָאנוּהָ בִּשְׂדֵי־יָֽעַר׃
7 We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.
נָבוֹאָה לְמִשְׁכְּנוֹתָיו נִשְׁתַּחֲוֶה לַהֲדֹם רַגְלָֽיו׃
8 Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.
קוּמָה יְהוָה לִמְנוּחָתֶךָ אַתָּה וַאֲרוֹן עֻזֶּֽךָ׃
9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.
כֹּהֲנֶיךָ יִלְבְּשׁוּ־צֶדֶק וַחֲסִידֶיךָ יְרַנֵּֽנוּ׃
10 For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thy anointed.
בַּעֲבוּר דָּוִד עַבְדֶּךָ אַל־תָּשֵׁב פְּנֵי מְשִׁיחֶֽךָ׃
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.
נִשְׁבַּֽע־יְהוָה ׀ לְדָוִד אֱמֶת לֹֽא־יָשׁוּב מִמֶּנָּה מִפְּרִי בִטְנְךָ אָשִׁית לְכִסֵּא־לָֽךְ׃
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.
אִֽם־יִשְׁמְרוּ בָנֶיךָ ׀ בְּרִיתִי וְעֵדֹתִי זוֹ אֲלַמְּדֵם גַּם־בְּנֵיהֶם עֲדֵי־עַד יֵשְׁבוּ לְכִסֵּא־לָֽךְ׃
13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired [it] for his habitation.
כִּֽי־בָחַר יְהוָה בְּצִיּוֹן אִוָּהּ לְמוֹשָׁב לֽוֹ׃
14 This [is] my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
זֹאת־מְנוּחָתִי עֲדֵי־עַד פֹּֽה־אֵשֵׁב כִּי אִוִּתִֽיהָ׃
15 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.
צֵידָהּ בָּרֵךְ אֲבָרֵךְ אֶבְיוֹנֶיהָ אַשְׂבִּיעַֽ לָֽחֶם׃
16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
וְֽכֹהֲנֶיהָ אַלְבִּישׁ יֶשַׁע וַחֲסִידֶיהָ רַנֵּן יְרַנֵּֽנוּ׃
17 There will I make the horn of David to bud, I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.
שָׁם אַצְמִיחַ קֶרֶן לְדָוִד עָרַכְתִּי נֵר לִמְשִׁיחִֽי׃
18 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
אוֹיְבָיו אַלְבִּישׁ בֹּשֶׁת וְעָלָיו יָצִיץ נִזְרֽוֹ׃
