תהילים 132

1 שִׁיר הַֽמַּעֲלוֹת זְכוֹר־יְהוָה לְדָוִד אֵת כָּל־עֻנּוֹתֽוֹ׃

A song of ascents. Remember, O Lord, David all his sufferings,

2 אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּע לַיהוָה נָדַר לַאֲבִיר יַעֲקֹֽב׃

the oath that he swore to the Lord, and his vow to the Strong One of Jacob,

3 אִם־אָבֹא בְּאֹהֶל בֵּיתִי אִם־אֶעֱלֶה עַל־עֶרֶשׂ יְצוּעָֽי׃

never to enter his tent, never to lie on his bed,

4 אִם־אֶתֵּן שְׁנַת לְעֵינָי לְֽעַפְעַפַּי תְּנוּמָֽה׃

never to give his eyes sleep or his eyelids slumber,

5 עַד־אֶמְצָא מָקוֹם לַיהוָה מִשְׁכָּנוֹת לַאֲבִיר יַעֲקֹֽב׃

till he had found a place for the Lord, for the Strong One of Jacob to live in.

6 הִנֵּֽה־שְׁמַֽעֲנוּהָ בְאֶפְרָתָה מְצָאנוּהָ בִּשְׂדֵי־יָֽעַר׃

We heard of it in Ephrathah, in the fields of Jaar we found it.

7 נָבוֹאָה לְמִשְׁכְּנוֹתָיו נִשְׁתַּחֲוֶה לַהֲדֹם רַגְלָֽיו׃

We went to the place where he dwelt, we bowed ourselves low at his footstool.

8 קוּמָה יְהוָה לִמְנוּחָתֶךָ אַתָּה וַאֲרוֹן עֻזֶּֽךָ׃

“Arise, Lord, and enter your resting-place, you and your mighty ark.

9 כֹּהֲנֶיךָ יִלְבְּשׁוּ־צֶדֶק וַחֲסִידֶיךָ יְרַנֵּֽנוּ׃

Let your priests wear a garment of righteousness, your faithful shout aloud for joy.

10 בַּעֲבוּר דָּוִד עַבְדֶּךָ אַל־תָּשֵׁב פְּנֵי מְשִׁיחֶֽךָ׃

For the sake of David your servant, do not reject your Anointed.”

11 נִשְׁבַּֽע־יְהוָה ׀ לְדָוִד אֱמֶת לֹֽא־יָשׁוּב מִמֶּנָּה מִפְּרִי בִטְנְךָ אָשִׁית לְכִסֵּא־לָֽךְ׃

The Lord swore an oath to David an oath that he will not break; “I will set on your throne a prince of your line.

12 אִֽם־יִשְׁמְרוּ בָנֶיךָ ׀ בְּרִיתִי וְעֵדֹתִי זוֹ אֲלַמְּדֵם גַּם־בְּנֵיהֶם עֲדֵי־עַד יֵשְׁבוּ לְכִסֵּא־לָֽךְ׃

If your sons keep my covenant and the statutes I teach them, then their sons, too, forever, will sit on your throne.”

13 כִּֽי־בָחַר יְהוָה בְּצִיּוֹן אִוָּהּ לְמוֹשָׁב לֽוֹ׃

For the choice of the Lord is Zion; she is the home of his heart.

14 זֹאת־מְנוּחָתִי עֲדֵי־עַד פֹּֽה־אֵשֵׁב כִּי אִוִּתִֽיהָ׃

“This is forever my resting-place, this is the home of my heart.

15 צֵידָהּ בָּרֵךְ אֲבָרֵךְ אֶבְיוֹנֶיהָ אַשְׂבִּיעַֽ לָֽחֶם׃

I will royally bless her provision, and give bread to her poor in abundance.

16 וְֽכֹהֲנֶיהָ אַלְבִּישׁ יֶשַׁע וַחֲסִידֶיהָ רַנֵּן יְרַנֵּֽנוּ׃

Her priests I will clothe with salvation; her faithful will shout for joy.

17 שָׁם אַצְמִיחַ קֶרֶן לְדָוִד עָרַכְתִּי נֵר לִמְשִׁיחִֽי׃

There will I raise up for David a dynasty of power. I have set my anointed a lamp that shall never go out.

18 אוֹיְבָיו אַלְבִּישׁ בֹּשֶׁת וְעָלָיו יָצִיץ נִזְרֽוֹ׃

Robes of shame I will put on his foes, but on his head a glittering crown.”
