| Chapter 132 |
1 | A Song of the Ascents. Remember, Jehovah, for David, all his afflictions.
|
2 | Who hath sworn to Jehovah. He hath vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
|
3 | 'If I enter into the tent of my house, If I go up on the couch of my bed,
|
4 | If I give sleep to mine eyes, To mine eyelids -- slumber,
|
5 | Till I do find a place for Jehovah, Tabernacles for the Mighty One of Jacob.
|
6 | 'Lo, we have heard it in Ephratah, We have found it in the fields of the forest.
|
7 | We come in to His tabernacles, We bow ourselves at His footstool.
|
8 | Arise, O Jehovah, to Thy rest, Thou, and the ark of Thy strength,
|
9 | Thy priests do put on righteousness, And Thy pious ones cry aloud.
|
10 | For the sake of David Thy servant, Turn not back the face of Thine anointed.
|
11 | Jehovah hath sworn truth to David, He turneth not back from it: Of the fruit of thy body, I set on the throne for thee.
|
12 | If thy sons keep My covenant, And My testimonies that I teach them, Their sons also for ever and ever, Do sit on the throne for thee.
|
13 | For Jehovah hath fixed on Zion, He hath desired [it] for a seat to Himself,
|
14 | This [is] My rest for ever and ever, Here do I sit, for I have desired it.
|
15 | Her provision I greatly bless, Her needy ones I satisfy [with] bread,
|
16 | And her priests I clothe [with] salvation, And her pious ones do sing aloud.
|
17 | There I cause to spring up a horn for David, I have arranged a lamp for Mine anointed.
|
18 | His enemies I do clothe [with] shame, And upon him doth his crown flourish!
