Psalms 132

1 A Song of Ascents. Yahweh, remember David and all his affliction,

Yhwh, remember David, and all his afflictions:

2 how he swore to Yahweh, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

How he sware unto Yhwh, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;

3 “Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, nor go up into my bed;

Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;

4 I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids,

I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,

5 until I find out a place for Yahweh, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

Until I find out a place for Yhwh, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.

6 Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar.

Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.

7 “We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at his footstool.”

We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.

8 Arise, Yahweh, into your resting place, you, and the ark of your strength.

Arise, O Yhwh, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.

9 Let your priests be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!

Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.

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

For thy servant David’s sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.

11 Yahweh has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: “I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.

Yhwh hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.

12 If your children will keep my covenant, my testimony that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forever more.”

If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.

13 For Yahweh has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation.

For Yhwh hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.

14 “This is my resting place forever. I will live here, for I have desired it.

This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.

15 I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread.

I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.

16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation. Her saints will shout aloud for joy.

I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

17 I will make the horn of David to bud there. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.

There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.

18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will shine.”

His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
