Psalm 132

HNV

MSG

1 <<A Ma`alot Song.>> LORD, remember David and all his affliction,
1 O God, remember David, remember all his troubles!
2 How he swore to the LORD, And vowed to the Mighty One of Ya`akov:
2 And remember how he promised God, made a vow to the Strong God of Jacob,
3 "Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, Nor go up into my bed;
3 "I'm not going home, and I'm not going to bed,
4 I will not give sleep to my eyes, Or slumber to my eyelids;
4 I'm not going to sleep, not even take time to rest,
5 Until I find out a place for the LORD, A dwelling for the Mighty One of Ya`akov."
5 Until I find a home for God, a house for the Strong God of Jacob."
6 Behold, we heard of it in Efratah. We found it in the field of Ya`ar:
6 Remember how we got the news in Ephrathah, learned all about it at Jaar Meadows?
7 "We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at his footstool.
7 We shouted, "Let's go to the shrine dedication! Let's worship at God's own footstool!"
8 Arise, LORD, into your resting place; You, and the ark of your strength.
8 Up, God, enjoy your new place of quiet repose, you and your mighty covenant ark;
9 Let your Kohen be clothed with righteousness. Let your holy ones shout for joy!"
9 Get your priests all dressed up in justice; prompt your worshipers to sing this prayer:
10 For your servant David's sake, Don't turn away the face of your anointed one.
10 "Honor your servant David; don't disdain your anointed one."
11 The LORD has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: "I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.
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 children will keep my covenant, My testimony that I will teach them, Their children also will sit on your throne forevermore."
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 For the LORD has chosen Tziyon. He has desired it for his habitation.
13 Yes - I, God, chose Zion, the place I wanted for my shrine;
14 "This is my resting place forever. Here I will live, for I have desired it.
14 This will always be my home; this is what I want, and I'm here for good.
15 I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread.
15 I'll shower blessings on the pilgrims who come here, and give supper to those who arrive hungry;
16 Her Kohanim I will also clothe with salvation. Her holy ones will shout aloud for joy.
16 I'll dress my priests in salvation clothes; the holy people will sing their hearts out!
17 There I will make the horn of David to bud. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.
17 Oh, I'll make the place radiant for David! I'll fill it with light for my anointed!
18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, But on himself, his crown will be resplendant."
18 I'll dress his enemies in dirty rags, but I'll make his crown sparkle with splendor."
