Psalms 132

1 A Song of degrees. LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions:

A Song of Ascents. Remember, O Yahweh, unto David, all his humiliations!

2 How he swore to the LORD, and vowed to the mighty God of Jacob;

What he Sware to Yahweh, —Vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

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

Surely I will not enter the home of my own house, nor ascend my curtained couch;

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

I will not give sleep to mine eyes, nor, to mine eye-lashes, slumber:

5 Until I find a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.

Until I find a place for Yahweh, habitations for the Mighty One of Jacob.

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

Lo! we heard of it at Ephrathah, we found it in the fields of the wood.

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

We would enter his habitations, we would bow down at his footstool.

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

Arise! O Yahweh, unto thy place of rest, Thou, and the ark of thy strength.

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

Thy priests, let them be clothed with righteousness, Thy men of lovingkindness, let them shout for joy!

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

For the sake of David thy servant, do not turn away the face of thine Anointed One.

11 The LORD hath sworn in truth to David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.

Yahweh hath sworn unto David, in faithfulness, will he not turn from it, —Of the fruit of thy body, will I seat on thy throne.

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

If thy sons keep my covenant, and my testimony which I will teach them, even their sons, unto futurity, shall sit on thy throne.

13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.

For Yahweh hath chosen Zion, —He hath desired it as a dwelling for himself:

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

This, is my place of rest unto futurity, Here, will I dwell, for I have desired it;

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

Her provision, will I abundantly bless, Her needy ones, will I satisfy with bread;

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

And, her priests, will I clothe with salvation, and, her men of lovingkindness, shall, shout aloud, for joy;

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

There, will I cause to bud a horn to David, I have prepared a lamp for mine Anointed One;

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

His enemies, will I clothe with shame, but, upon himself, shall his crown be resplendent.
