Psalms 132

1A Song of the Ascents. Remember, Jehovah, for David, all his afflictions.

1 Jehovah, remember for David all his affliction;

2Who hath sworn to Jehovah. He hath vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

2 How he swore unto Jehovah, vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob:

3`If I enter into the tent of my house, If I go up on the couch of my bed,

3 I will not come into the tent of my house, I will not go up to the couch of my bed;

4If I give sleep to mine eyes, To mine eyelids--slumber,

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

5Till I do find a place for Jehovah, Tabernacles for the Mighty One of Jacob.

5 Until I find out a place for Jehovah, habitations for the Mighty One of Jacob. ...

6`Lo, we have heard it in Ephratah, We have found it in the fields of the forest.

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

7We come in to His tabernacles, We bow ourselves at His footstool.

7 Let us go into his habitations, let us worship at his footstool.

8Arise, O Jehovah, to Thy rest, Thou, and the ark of Thy strength,

8 Arise, Jehovah, into thy rest, thou and the ark of thy strength.

9Thy priests do put on righteousness, And Thy pious ones cry aloud.

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

10For the sake of David Thy servant, Turn not back the face of Thine anointed.

10 For thy servant David's sake, turn not away the face of thine anointed.

11Jehovah hath sworn truth to David, He turneth not back from it: Of the fruit of thy body, I set on the throne for thee.

11 Jehovah hath sworn [in] truth unto David; he will not turn from it: Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne;

12If thy sons keep My covenant, And My testimonies that I teach them, Their sons also for ever and ever, Do sit on the throne for thee.

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

13For Jehovah hath fixed on Zion, He hath desired <FI>it<Fi> for a seat to Himself,

13 For Jehovah hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his dwelling:

14This <FI>is<Fi> My rest for ever and ever, Here do I sit, for I have desired it.

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

15Her provision I greatly bless, Her needy ones I satisfy <FI>with<Fi> bread,

15 I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her needy ones with bread;

16And her priests I clothe <FI>with<Fi> salvation, And her pious ones do sing aloud.

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

17There I cause to spring up a horn for David, I have arranged a lamp for Mine anointed.

17 There will I cause the horn of David to bud forth; I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.

18His enemies I do clothe <FI>with<Fi> shame, And upon him doth his crown flourish!

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