Psalmorum 132
1 Canticum graduum. Memento Domine David, et omnis mansuetudinis eius:
Adonai, remember David [Beloved] and all his affliction,
2 Sicut iuravit Domino, votum vovit Deo Iacob:
how he swore to Adonai, and vowed to the 'Avir Ya'akov [Mighty One of Supplanter]:
3 Si introiero in tabernaculum domus meae, si ascendero in lectum strati mei:
“Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, nor go up into my bed;
4 Si dedero somnum oculis meis, et palpebris meis dormitationem:
I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids;
5 Et requiem temporibus meis: donec inveniam locum Domino, tabernaculum Deo Iacob.
until I find out a place for Adonai, a dwelling for the 'Avir Ya'akov [Mighty One of Supplanter].”
6 Ecce audivimus eam in Ephrata: invenimus eam in campis silvae.
Behold, we sh'ma ·heard obeyed· of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar:
7 Introibimus in tabernaculum eius: adorabimus in loco, ubi steterunt pedes eius.
“We will go into his dwelling place. We will hawa ·bow low, prostrate· to worship at his footstool.
8 Surge Domine in requiem tuam, tu et arca sanctificationis tuae.
Arise, Adonai, into your resting place; you, and the ark of your strength.
9 Sacerdotes tui induantur iustitiam: et sancti tui exultent.
Let your priest be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!”
10 Propter David servum tuum, non avertas faciem Christi tui.
For your servant David [Beloved]’s sake, don’t turn away the face of your anointed one.
11 Iuravit Dominus David veritatem, et non frustrabitur eum: de fructu ventris tui ponam super sedem tuam.
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 Si custodierint filii tui testamentum meum, et testimonia mea haec, quae docebo eos: Et filii eorum usque in saeculum, sedebunt super sedem tuam.
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 Quoniam elegit Dominus Sion: elegit eam in habitationem sibi.
For Adonai has chosen Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking]. He has desired it for his habitation.
14 Haec requies mea in saeculum saeculi: hic habitabo quoniam elegi eam.
“This is my resting place forever. Here I will live, for I have desired it.
15 Viduam eius benedicens benedicam: pauperes eius saturabo panibus.
I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16 Sacerdotes eius induam salutari: et sancti eius exultatione exultabunt.
Her priests I will also clothe with yesha' ·salvation·. Her saints will shout aloud for joy.
17 Illuc producam cornu David, paravi lucernam Christo meo.
There I will make the horn of David [Beloved] to bud. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.
18 Inimicos eius induam confusione: super ipsum autem efflorebit sanctificatio mea.
I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will be resplendent.”
