| Chapter 132 |
1 | Yahweh, remember David and all his affliction,
|
2 | How he swore to Yahweh, And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
|
3 | 'Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, Nor go up into my bed;
|
4 | I will not give sleep to my eyes, Or slumber to my eyelids;
|
5 | Until I find out a place for Yahweh, A dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.'
|
6 | Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar:
|
7 | 'We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at his footstool.
|
8 | Arise, Yahweh, into your resting place; You, and the ark of your strength.
|
9 | Let your priest be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!'
|
10 | For your servant David's sake, Don't turn away the face of your anointed one.
|
11 | Yahweh has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: 'I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.
|
12 | If your children will keep my covenant, My testimony that I will teach them, Their children also will sit on your throne forevermore.'
|
13 | For Yahweh has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation.
|
14 | 'This is my resting place forever. Here I will live, for I have desired it.
|
15 | I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread.
|
16 | Her priests I will also clothe with salvation. Her saints will shout aloud for joy.
|
17 | There I will make the horn of David to bud. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.
|
18 | I will clothe his enemies with shame, But on himself, his crown will be resplendant.' Psalm 133 A Song of Ascents. By David.
