Psalms 132

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

Adonai, remember David [Beloved] and all his affliction,

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

how he swore to Adonai, and vowed to the 'Avir Ya'akov [Mighty One of Supplanter]:

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

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

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

I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids;

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

until I find out a place for Adonai, a dwelling for the 'Avir Ya'akov [Mighty One of Supplanter].”

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

Behold, we sh'ma ·heard obeyed· of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar:

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

“We will go into his dwelling place. We will hawa ·bow low, prostrate· to worship at his footstool.

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

Arise, Adonai, into your resting place; you, and the ark of your strength.

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

Let your priest be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!”

10 For the sake of David Thy servant, Turn not back the face of Thine anointed.

For your servant David [Beloved]’s sake, don’t turn away the face of your anointed one.

11 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.

Adonai has sworn to David [Beloved] in truth. He will not turn from it: “I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.

12 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.

If your children will keep my covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties·, my testimony that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forever more.”

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

For Adonai has chosen Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking]. He has desired it for his habitation.

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

“This is my resting place forever. Here I will live, for I have desired it.

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

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

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

Her priests I will also clothe with yesha' ·salvation·. Her saints will shout aloud for joy.

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

There I will make the horn of David [Beloved] to bud. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.

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

I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will be resplendent.”
