1 <A Song of the going up.> Lord, give thought to David, and to all his troubles;
1
32 (Shir HaMa’alot) Hashem, remember Dovid, and all his afflictions;
2 How he made an oath to the Lord, and gave his word to the great God of Jacob, saying,
2
How he swore unto Hashem, and vowed unto Avir Ya’akov (the Mighty One of Ya’akov);
3 Truly, I will not come into my house, or go to my bed,
3
Surely I will not come into the ohel of my bais, nor go up into my bed;
4 I will not give sleep to my eyes, or rest to my eyeballs,
4
I will not give sleep to mine eyes, nor tenumah (slumber) to mine eyelids,
5 Till I have got a place for the Lord, a resting-place for the great God of Jacob.
5
Until I find a makom (place) for Hashem, even mishkanot for the Avir Ya’akov.
6 We had news of it at Ephrathah: we came to it in the fields of the wood.
6
Hinei, we heard of it at Ephratah; we found it in the sedei Ya’ar (fields of Ya’ar).
7 Let us go into his tent; let us give worship at his feet.
7
We will go into His mishkanot; we will worship at the hadom (footstool) of His raglayim.
8 Come back, O Lord, to your resting-place; you and the ark of your strength.
8
Arise, Hashem, into Thy menuchah (resting place); Thou, and the Aron of Thy oz (might).
9 Let your priests be clothed with righteousness; and let your saints give cries of joy.
9
Let Thy Kohanim be clothed with tzedek; and let Thy chasidim sing for joy.
10 Because of your servant David, do not give up your king.
10
For the sake of Dovid Thy Eved, do not turn away the face of Thine Moshiach [see Isa 52:13; 53:11].
11 The Lord gave a true oath to David, which he will not take back, saying, I will give your kingdom to the fruit of your body.
11
Hashem hath sworn in emes unto Dovid; He will not turn from His oath: Of the p’ri (fruit) of thy beten (body) will I set upon thy kisse (throne).
12 If your children keep my word, and the teachings which I will give them, their children will be rulers of your kingdom for ever.
12
If thy Banim are shomer over My Brit and My Edot that I shall teach them, their Banim shall also sit upon thy kisse adei-ad (forevermore).
13 For the Lord's heart is on Zion, desiring it for his resting-place.
13
For Hashem hath chosen Tziyon; He hath desired her for His moshav.
14 This is my rest for ever: here will I ever be; for this is my desire.
14
This is My menuchah (resting place) adei-ad (forever); here will I dwell; for I have desired her.
15 My blessing will be on her food; and her poor will be full of bread.
15
I will place a bountiful brocha on her provision; I will satisfy her poor with lechem.
16 Her priests will be clothed with salvation; and her saints will give cries of joy.
16
I will also clothe her Kohanim with Yesha (salvation); and her chasidim shall sing aloud for joy.
17 There I will make the horn of David fertile: I have made ready a light for my king.
17
There atzmi’ach (I will make sprout i.e., Tzemach) the Keren of Dovid; I have ordained a ner (lamp) for My Moshiach.
18 His haters will be clothed with shame; but I will make his crown shining.
18
His oyevim will I clothe with boshet (shame); but upon him [Moshiach] shall his nezer (crown) be resplendent.
