Psalms 132
1 A Canticle in steps. O Lord, remember David and all his meekness,
上行之詩。 耶和華啊，求你記念大衛所受的一切苦難！
2 how he swore to the Lord, how he made a vow to the God of Jacob:
他怎樣向耶和華起誓， 向雅各的大能者許願，
3 I shall not enter into the tabernacle of my house, nor climb into the bed where I lie down;
說：我必不進我的帳幕， 也不上我的床榻；
4 I shall not give sleep to my eyes, nor slumber to my eyelids
我不容我的眼睛睡覺， 也不容我的眼目打盹；
5 and rest to my temples, until I find a place for the Lord, a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
直等我為耶和華尋得所在， 為雅各的大能者尋得居所。
6 Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We discovered it in the fields of the forest.
我們聽說約櫃在以法他， 我們在基列‧耶琳就尋見了。
7 We will enter into his tabernacle. We will adore in the place where his feet stood.
我們要進他的居所， 在他腳凳前下拜。
8 Rise up, O Lord, into your resting place. You and the ark of your sanctification.
耶和華啊，求你興起， 和你有能力的約櫃同入安息之所！
9 Let your priests be clothed with justice, and let your saints exult.
願你的祭司披上公義！ 願你的聖民歡呼！
10 For the sake of your servant David, do not turn away the face of your Christ.
求你因你僕人大衛的緣故， 不要厭棄你的受膏者！
11 The Lord has sworn the truth to David, and he will not disappoint: I will set upon your throne from the fruit of your lineage.
耶和華向大衛、憑誠實起了誓， 必不反覆，說： 我要使你所生的 坐在你的寶座上。
12 If your sons will keep my covenant and these, my testimonies, which I will teach to them, then their sons will sit upon your throne even forever.
你的眾子若守我的約 和我所教訓他們的法度， 他們的子孫必永遠坐在你的寶座上。
13 For the Lord has chosen Zion. He has chosen it as his dwelling place.
因為耶和華揀選了錫安， 願意當作自己的居所，
14 This is my resting place, forever and ever. Here I will dwell, for I have chosen it.
說：這是我永遠安息之所； 我要住在這裏， 因為是我所願意的。
15 When blessing, I will bless her widow. I will satisfy her poor with bread.
我要使其中的糧食豐滿， 使其中的窮人飽足。
16 I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints will rejoice with great joy.
我要使祭司披上救恩， 聖民大聲歡呼！
17 There, I will produce a horn to David. There, I have prepared a lamp for my Christ.
我要叫大衛的角在那裏發生； 我為我的受膏者預備明燈。
18 I will clothe his enemies with confusion. But my sanctification will flourish over him.
我要使他的仇敵披上羞恥； 但他的冠冕要在頭上發光。
