< Psalms 132 >

1 A Song of the Ascents. Remember, Jehovah, for David, all his afflictions.
שִׁיר הַֽמַּעֲלוֹת זְכוֹר־יְהוָה לְדָוִד אֵת כָּל־עֻנּוֹתֽוֹ׃
2 Who hath sworn to Jehovah. He hath vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּע לַיהוָה נָדַר לַאֲבִיר יַעֲקֹֽב׃
3 'If I enter into the tent of my house, If I go up on the couch of my bed,
אִם־אָבֹא בְּאֹהֶל בֵּיתִי אִם־אֶעֱלֶה עַל־עֶרֶשׂ יְצוּעָֽי׃
4 If I give sleep to mine eyes, To mine eyelids — slumber,
אִם־אֶתֵּן שְׁנַת לְעֵינָי לְֽעַפְעַפַּי תְּנוּמָֽה׃
5 Till I do find a place for Jehovah, Tabernacles for the Mighty One of Jacob.
עַד־אֶמְצָא מָקוֹם לַיהוָה מִשְׁכָּנוֹת לַאֲבִיר יַעֲקֹֽב׃
6 'Lo, we have heard it in Ephratah, We have found it in the fields of the forest.
הִנֵּֽה־שְׁמַֽעֲנוּהָ בְאֶפְרָתָה מְצָאנוּהָ בִּשְׂדֵי־יָֽעַר׃
7 We come in to His tabernacles, We bow ourselves at His footstool.
נָבוֹאָה לְמִשְׁכְּנוֹתָיו נִשְׁתַּחֲוֶה לַהֲדֹם רַגְלָֽיו׃
8 Arise, O Jehovah, to Thy rest, Thou, and the ark of Thy strength,
קוּמָה יְהוָה לִמְנוּחָתֶךָ אַתָּה וַאֲרוֹן עֻזֶּֽךָ׃
9 Thy priests do put on righteousness, And Thy pious ones cry aloud.
כֹּהֲנֶיךָ יִלְבְּשׁוּ־צֶדֶק וַחֲסִידֶיךָ יְרַנֵּֽנוּ׃
10 For the sake of David Thy servant, Turn not back the face of Thine anointed.
בַּעֲבוּר דָּוִד עַבְדֶּךָ אַל־תָּשֵׁב פְּנֵי מְשִׁיחֶֽךָ׃
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.
נִשְׁבַּֽע־יְהוָה ׀ לְדָוִד אֱמֶת לֹֽא־יָשׁוּב מִמֶּנָּה מִפְּרִי בִטְנְךָ אָשִׁית לְכִסֵּא־לָֽךְ׃
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.
אִֽם־יִשְׁמְרוּ בָנֶיךָ ׀ בְּרִיתִי וְעֵדֹתִי זוֹ אֲלַמְּדֵם גַּם־בְּנֵיהֶם עֲדֵי־עַד יֵשְׁבוּ לְכִסֵּא־לָֽךְ׃
13 For Jehovah hath fixed on Zion, He hath desired [it] for a seat to Himself,
כִּֽי־בָחַר יְהוָה בְּצִיּוֹן אִוָּהּ לְמוֹשָׁב לֽוֹ׃
14 This [is] My rest for ever and ever, Here do I sit, for I have desired it.
זֹאת־מְנוּחָתִי עֲדֵי־עַד פֹּֽה־אֵשֵׁב כִּי אִוִּתִֽיהָ׃
15 Her provision I greatly bless, Her needy ones I satisfy [with] bread,
צֵידָהּ בָּרֵךְ אֲבָרֵךְ אֶבְיוֹנֶיהָ אַשְׂבִּיעַֽ לָֽחֶם׃
16 And her priests I clothe [with] salvation, And her pious ones do sing aloud.
וְֽכֹהֲנֶיהָ אַלְבִּישׁ יֶשַׁע וַחֲסִידֶיהָ רַנֵּן יְרַנֵּֽנוּ׃
17 There I cause to spring up a horn for David, I have arranged a lamp for Mine anointed.
שָׁם אַצְמִיחַ קֶרֶן לְדָוִד עָרַכְתִּי נֵר לִמְשִׁיחִֽי׃
18 His enemies I do clothe [with] shame, And upon him doth his crown flourish!
אוֹיְבָיו אַלְבִּישׁ בֹּשֶׁת וְעָלָיו יָצִיץ נִזְרֽוֹ׃
