Psalms 132

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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."

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Message Bible MSG

1 O God, remember David, remember all his troubles!

2 And remember how he promised God, made a vow to the Strong God of Jacob,

3 "I'm not going home, and I'm not going to bed,

4 I'm not going to sleep, not even take time to rest,

5 Until I find a home for God, a house for the Strong God of Jacob."

6 Remember how we got the news in Ephrathah, learned all about it at Jaar Meadows?

7 We shouted, "Let's go to the shrine dedication! Let's worship at God's own footstool!"

8 Up, God, enjoy your new place of quiet repose, you and your mighty covenant ark;

9 Get your priests all dressed up in justice; prompt your worshipers to sing this prayer:

10 "Honor your servant David; don't disdain your anointed one."

11 God gave David his word, he won't back out on this promise: "One of your sons I will set on your throne;

12 If your sons stay true to my Covenant and learn to live the way I teach them, Their sons will continue the line - always a son to sit on your throne.

13 Yes - I, God, chose Zion, the place I wanted for my shrine;

14 This will always be my home; this is what I want, and I'm here for good.

15 I'll shower blessings on the pilgrims who come here, and give supper to those who arrive hungry;

16 I'll dress my priests in salvation clothes; the holy people will sing their hearts out!

17 Oh, I'll make the place radiant for David! I'll fill it with light for my anointed!

18 I'll dress his enemies in dirty rags, but I'll make his crown sparkle with splendor."
