Psalms 132

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

1A gradual canticle of David. Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity:

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

2Like the precious ointment on the head, that ran down upon the beard, the beard of Aaron, Which ran down to the skirt of his garment:

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

3As the dew of Hermon, which descendeth upon mount Sion. For there the Lord hath commanded blessing, and life for evermore.

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

4(not in this translation)

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

5(not in this translation)

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

6(not in this translation)

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

7(not in this translation)

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

8(not in this translation)

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

9(not in this translation)

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

10(not in this translation)

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(not in this translation)

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(not in this translation)

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

13(not in this translation)

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

14(not in this translation)

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

15(not in this translation)

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

16(not in this translation)

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

17(not in this translation)

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