Ψαλμοί 132

1 ᾠδὴ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν μνήσθητι κύριε τοῦ Δαυιδ καὶ πάσης τῆς πραΰτητος αὐτοῦ

“A song of the degrees.” Remember, O Lord, unto David all his afflictions;

2 ὡς ὤμοσεν τῷ κυρίῳ ηὔξατο τῷ θεῷ Ιακωβ

How he swore unto the Lord; how he vowed unto the mighty One of Jacob:

3 εἰ εἰσελεύσομαι εἰς σκήνωμα οἴκου μου εἰ ἀναβήσομαι ἐπὶ κλίνης στρωμνῆς μου

Surely, I will not enter into the tent of my house, nor ascend the couch of my repose;

4 εἰ δώσω ὕπνον τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς μου καὶ τοῖς βλεφάροις μου νυσταγμὸν καὶ ἀνάπαυσιν τοῖς κροτάφοις μου

I will not grant any sleep to my eyes, nor to my eyelids any slumber:

5 ἕως οὗ εὕρω τόπον τῷ κυρίῳ σκήνωμα τῷ θεῷ Ιακωβ

Until I shall have found out a place for the Lord, a dwelling-place for the mighty One of Jacob.

6 ἰδοὺ ἠκούσαμεν αὐτὴν ἐν Εφραθα εὕρομεν αὐτὴν ἐν τοῖς πεδίοις τοῦ δρυμοῦ

“Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we met with it in the fields of the forest:

7 εἰσελευσόμεθα εἰς τὰ σκηνώματα αὐτοῦ προσκυνήσομεν εἰς τὸν τόπον οὗ ἔστησαν οἱ πόδες αὐτοῦ

let us then go into his dwelling: let us prostrate ourselves before his footstool.”

8 ἀνάστηθι κύριε εἰς τὴν ἀνάπαυσίν σου σὺ καὶ ἡ κιβωτὸς τοῦ ἁγιάσματός σου

Arise, O Lord, unto thy resting-place: thou, and the ark of thy strength.

9 οἱ ἱερεῖς σου ἐνδύσονται δικαιοσύνην καὶ οἱ ὅσιοί σου ἀγαλλιάσονται

Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy pious servants shout for joy.

10 ἕνεκεν Δαυιδ τοῦ δούλου σου μὴ ἀποστρέψῃς τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ χριστοῦ σου

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

11 ὤμοσεν κύριος τῷ Δαυιδ ἀλήθειαν καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀθετήσει αὐτήν ἐκ καρποῦ τῆς κοιλίας σου θήσομαι ἐπὶ τὸν θρόνον σου

The Lord hath sworn unto David in truth; he will not turn from it: “From the fruit of thy body will I set [some one] on the throne to succeed thee.

12 ἐὰν φυλάξωνται οἱ υἱοί σου τὴν διαθήκην μου καὶ τὰ μαρτύριά μου ταῦτα ἃ διδάξω αὐτούς καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτῶν ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος καθιοῦνται ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου σου

If thy children will observe my covenant and this my testimony which I teach them: then also shall their children sit for evermore upon the throne to succeed thee.”

13 ὅτι ἐξελέξατο κύριος τὴν Σιων ᾑρετίσατο αὐτὴν εἰς κατοικίαν ἑαυτῷ

For the Lord hath made choice of Zion: he hath desired it as a habitation for himself.

14 αὕτη ἡ κατάπαυσίς μου εἰς αἰῶνα αἰῶνος ὧδε κατοικήσω ὅτι ᾑρετισάμην αὐτήν

This is my resting-place for evermore: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.

15 τὴν θήραν αὐτῆς εὐλογῶν εὐλογήσω τοὺς πτωχοὺς αὐτῆς χορτάσω ἄρτων

Her provision will I bless abundantly: her needy ones will I satisfy with bread.

16 τοὺς ἱερεῖς αὐτῆς ἐνδύσω σωτηρίαν καὶ οἱ ὅσιοι αὐτῆς ἀγαλλιάσει ἀγαλλιάσονται

And her priests will I clothe with salvation: and her pious ones shall shout aloud for joy.

17 ἐκεῖ ἐξανατελῶ κέρας τῷ Δαυιδ ἡτοίμασα λύχνον τῷ χριστῷ μου

There will I cause to grow a horn unto David: I arrange a lamp for my anointed.

18 τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτοῦ ἐνδύσω αἰσχύνην ἐπὶ δὲ αὐτὸν ἐξανθήσει τὸ ἁγίασμά μου

His enemies will I clothe with shame; but upon himself shall his crown shine brilliantly.
