Psalms 132

1 A song of ascents: ADONAI, remember in David's favor all the hardships he endured,

1 <A Song of the going up.> Lord, give thought to David, and to all his troubles;

2 how he swore to ADONAI, vowed to the Mighty One of Ya'akov,

2 How he made an oath to the Lord, and gave his word to the great God of Jacob, saying,

3 "I will not enter the house where I live or get into my bed,

3 Truly, I will not come into my house, or go to my bed,

4 I will not allow myself to sleep or even close my eyes,

4 I will not give sleep to my eyes, or rest to my eyeballs,

5 until I find a place for ADONAI, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Ya'akov."

5 Till I have got a place for the Lord, a resting-place for the great God of Jacob.

6 We heard about it in Efrat, we found it in the Fields of Ya'ar.

6 We had news of it at Ephrathah: we came to it in the fields of the wood.

7 Let's go into his dwelling and prostrate ourselves at his footstool.

7 Let us go into his tent; let us give worship at his feet.

8 Go up, ADONAI, to your resting-place, you and the ark through which you give strength.

8 Come back, O Lord, to your resting-place; you and the ark of your strength.

9 May your cohanim be clothed with righteousness; may those loyal to you shout for joy.

9 Let your priests be clothed with righteousness; and let your saints give cries of joy.

10 For the sake of your servant David, don't turn away the face of your anointed one.

10 Because of your servant David, do not give up your king.

11 ADONAI swore an oath to David, an oath he will not break: "One of the sons from your own body I will set on your throne.

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.

12 If your sons keep my covenant and my instruction, which I will teach them, then their descendants too, forever, will sit on your 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.

13 For ADONAI has chosen Tziyon, he has wanted it as his home.

13 For the Lord's heart is on Zion, desiring it for his resting-place.

14 "This is my resting-place forever, I will live here because I so much want to.

14 This is my rest for ever: here will I ever be; for this is my desire.

15 I will bless it with plenty of meat, I will give its poor their fill of food.

15 My blessing will be on her food; and her poor will be full of bread.

16 Its cohanim I will clothe with salvation, and its faithful will shout for joy.

16 Her priests will be clothed with salvation; and her saints will give cries of joy.

17 I will make a king sprout there from David's line and prepare a lamp for my anointed one.

17 There I will make the horn of David fertile: I have made ready a light for my king.

18 His enemies I will clothe with shame, but on him there will be a shining crown."

18 His haters will be clothed with shame; but I will make his crown shining.
