תְהִלִּים 132

1 שִׁ֗יר הַֽמַּ֫עֲלֹ֥ות זְכֹור־יְהוָ֥ה לְדָוִ֑ד אֵ֝ת כָּל־עֻנֹּותֹֽו׃

A Song of degrees. Jehovah, remember for David all his affliction;

2 אֲשֶׁ֣ר נִ֭שְׁבַּע לַיהוָ֑ה נָ֝דַ֗ר לַאֲבִ֥יר יַעֲקֹֽב׃

How he swore unto Jehovah, vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob:

3 אִם־אָ֭בֹא בְּאֹ֣הֶל בֵּיתִ֑י אִם־אֶ֝עֱלֶ֗ה עַל־עֶ֥רֶשׂ יְצוּעָֽי׃

I will not come into the tent of my house, I will not go up to the couch of my bed;

4 אִם־אֶתֵּ֣ן שְׁנַ֣ת לְעֵינָ֑י לְֽעַפְעַפַּ֥י תְּנוּמָֽה׃

I will not give sleep to mine eyes, slumber to mine eyelids,

5 עַד־אֶמְצָ֣א מָ֭קֹום לַיהוָ֑ה מִ֝שְׁכָּנֹ֗ות לַאֲבִ֥יר יַעֲקֹֽב׃

Until I find out a place for Jehovah, habitations for the Mighty One of Jacob. ...

6 הִנֵּֽה־שְׁמַֽעֲנ֥וּהָ בְאֶפְרָ֑תָה מְ֝צָאנ֗וּהָ בִּשְׂדֵי־יָֽעַר׃

Behold, we heard of it at Ephratah, we found it in the fields of the wood.

7 נָבֹ֥ואָה לְמִשְׁכְּנֹותָ֑יו נִ֝שְׁתַּחֲוֶ֗ה לַהֲדֹ֥ם רַגְלָֽיו׃

Let us go into his habitations, let us worship at his footstool.

8 קוּמָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה לִמְנוּחָתֶ֑ךָ אַ֝תָּ֗ה וַאֲרֹ֥ון עֻזֶּֽךָ׃

Arise, Jehovah, into thy rest, thou and the ark of thy strength.

9 כֹּהֲנֶ֥יךָ יִלְבְּשׁוּ־צֶ֑דֶק וַחֲסִידֶ֥יךָ יְרַנֵּֽנוּ׃

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

10 בַּ֭עֲבוּר דָּוִ֣ד עַבְדֶּ֑ךָ אַל־תָּ֝שֵׁ֗ב פְּנֵ֣י מְשִׁיחֶֽךָ׃

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

11 נִשְׁבַּֽע־יְהוָ֨ה ׀ לְדָוִ֡ד אֱמֶת֮ לֹֽא־יָשׁ֪וּב מִ֫מֶּ֥נָּה מִפְּרִ֥י בִטְנְךָ֑ אָ֝שִׁ֗ית לְכִסֵּא־לָֽךְ׃

Jehovah hath sworn [in] truth unto David; he will not turn from it: Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne;

12 אִֽם־יִשְׁמְר֬וּ בָנֶ֨יךָ ׀ בְּרִיתִי֮ וְעֵדֹתִ֥י זֹ֗ו אֲלַ֫מְּדֵ֥ם גַּם־בְּנֵיהֶ֥ם עֲדֵי־עַ֑ד יֵ֝שְׁב֗וּ לְכִסֵּא־לָֽךְ׃

If thy children keep my covenant, and my testimonies which I will teach them, their children also for evermore shall sit upon thy throne.

13 כִּֽי־בָחַ֣ר יְהוָ֣ה בְּצִיֹּ֑ון אִ֝וָּ֗הּ לְמֹושָׁ֥ב לֹֽו׃

For Jehovah hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his dwelling:

14 זֹאת־מְנוּחָתִ֥י עֲדֵי־עַ֑ד פֹּֽה־אֵ֝שֵׁ֗ב כִּ֣י אִוִּתִֽיהָ׃

This is my rest for ever; here will I dwell, for I have desired it.

15 צֵ֭ידָהּ בָּרֵ֣ךְ אֲבָרֵ֑ךְ אֶ֝בְיֹונֶ֗יהָ אַשְׂבִּ֥יעַֽ לָֽחֶם׃

I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her needy ones with bread;

16 וְֽ֭כֹהֲנֶיהָ אַלְבִּ֣ישׁ יֶ֑שַׁע וַ֝חֲסִידֶ֗יהָ רַנֵּ֥ן יְרַנֵּֽנוּ׃

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

17 שָׁ֤ם אַצְמִ֣יחַ קֶ֣רֶן לְדָוִ֑ד עָרַ֥כְתִּי נֵ֝֗ר לִמְשִׁיחִֽי׃

There will I cause the horn of David to bud forth; I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.

18 אֹ֭ויְבָיו אַלְבִּ֣ישׁ בֹּ֑שֶׁת וְ֝עָלָ֗יו יָצִ֥יץ נִזְרֹֽו׃

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