Psalms 132

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

1Jehovah, remember for David All his affliction;

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

2How he sware unto Jehovah, And 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,

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

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

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

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

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

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

6Lo, we heard of it in Ephrathah: We found it in the field of the wood.

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

7We will go into his tabernacles; We will worship at his footstool.

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

8Arise, O Jehovah, into thy resting-place; Thou, and the ark of thy strength.

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

9Let 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.

10For 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.

11Jehovah hath sworn unto David in truth; 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.

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

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

13For Jehovah hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it for his habitation.

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

14This is my resting-place 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,

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

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

16Her priests also will I clothe 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.

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

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

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