Psalms 132

שִׁ֗יר הַֽמַּ֫עֲל֥וֹת זְכוֹר־יְהוָ֥ה לְדָוִ֑ד אֵ֝ת כָּל־עֻנּוֹתֽוֹ׃

A song of ascents. O LORD, remember on behalf of David all the hardships he endured,

A Song of degrees.

LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions:

אֲשֶׁ֣ר נִ֭שְׁבַּע לַיהוָ֑ה נָ֝דַ֗ר לַאֲבִ֥יר יַעֲקֹֽב׃

how he swore an oath to the LORD, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;

אִם־אָ֭בֹא בְּאֹ֣הֶל בֵּיתִ֑י אִם־אֶ֝עֱלֶ֗ה עַל־עֶ֥רֶשׂ יְצוּעָֽי׃

“I will not enter my house or get into my bed,

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

אִם־אֶתֵּ֣ן שְׁנַ֣ת לְעֵינָ֑י לְֽעַפְעַפַּ֥י תְּנוּמָֽה׃

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

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

עַד־אֶמְצָ֣א מָ֭קוֹם לַיהוָ֑ה מִ֝שְׁכָּנ֗וֹת לַאֲבִ֥יר יַעֲקֹֽב׃

until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

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

הִנֵּֽה־שְׁמַֽעֲנ֥וּהָ בְאֶפְרָ֑תָה מְ֝צָאנ֗וּהָ בִּשְׂדֵי־יָֽעַר׃

We heard that the ark was in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.

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

נָב֥וֹאָה לְמִשְׁכְּנוֹתָ֑יו נִ֝שְׁתַּחֲוֶ֗ה לַהֲדֹ֥ם רַגְלָֽיו׃

Let us go to His dwelling place; let us worship at His footstool.

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

קוּמָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה לִמְנוּחָתֶ֑ךָ אַ֝תָּ֗ה וַאֲר֥וֹן עֻזֶּֽךָ׃

Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength.

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

כֹּהֲנֶ֥יךָ יִלְבְּשׁוּ־צֶ֑דֶק וַחֲסִידֶ֥יךָ יְרַנֵּֽנוּ׃

May Your priests be clothed with righteousness, and Your saints shout for joy.

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

בַּ֭עֲבוּר דָּוִ֣ד עַבְדֶּ֑ךָ אַל־תָּ֝שֵׁ֗ב פְּנֵ֣י מְשִׁיחֶֽךָ׃

For the sake of Your servant David, do not reject Your anointed one.

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

נִשְׁבַּֽע־יְהוָ֨ה ׀ לְדָוִ֡ד אֱמֶת֮ לֹֽא־יָשׁ֪וּב מִ֫מֶּ֥נָּה מִפְּרִ֥י בִטְנְךָ֑ אָ֝שִׁ֗ית לְכִסֵּא־לָֽךְ׃

The LORD swore an oath to David, a promise He will not revoke: “One of your descendants I will place on your throne.

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

אִֽם־יִשְׁמְר֬וּ בָנֶ֨יךָ ׀ בְּרִיתִי֮ וְעֵדֹתִ֥י ז֗וֹ אֲלַ֫מְּדֵ֥ם גַּם־בְּנֵיהֶ֥ם עֲדֵי־עַ֑ד יֵ֝שְׁב֗וּ לְכִסֵּא־לָֽךְ׃

If your sons keep My covenant and the testimony I will teach them, then their sons will also sit on your throne forever and ever.”

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

כִּֽי־בָחַ֣ר יְהוָ֣ה בְּצִיּ֑וֹן אִ֝וָּ֗הּ לְמוֹשָׁ֥ב לֽוֹ׃

For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His home:

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

זֹאת־מְנוּחָתִ֥י עֲדֵי־עַ֑ד פֹּֽה־אֵ֝שֵׁ֗ב כִּ֣י אִוִּתִֽיהָ׃

“This is My resting place forever and ever; here I will dwell, for I have desired this home.

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

צֵ֭ידָהּ בָּרֵ֣ךְ אֲבָרֵ֑ךְ אֶ֝בְיוֹנֶ֗יהָ אַשְׂבִּ֥יעַֽ לָֽחֶם׃

I will bless her with abundant provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread.

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

וְֽ֭כֹהֲנֶיהָ אַלְבִּ֣ישׁ יֶ֑שַׁע וַ֝חֲסִידֶ֗יהָ רַנֵּ֥ן יְרַנֵּֽנוּ׃

I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints will sing out in joy.

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

שָׁ֤ם אַצְמִ֣יחַ קֶ֣רֶן לְדָוִ֑ד עָרַ֥כְתִּי נֵ֝֗ר לִמְשִׁיחִֽי׃

There I will make a horn grow for David; I have prepared a lamp for My anointed one.

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

א֭וֹיְבָיו אַלְבִּ֣ישׁ בֹּ֑שֶׁת וְ֝עָלָ֗יו יָצִ֥יץ נִזְרֽוֹ׃

I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown upon him will gleam.”

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