| Chapter 132 |
1 |
Yahweh, remember David and all his affliction, |
2 |
How he swore to Yahweh, And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob: |
3 |
"Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, Nor go up into my bed; |
4 |
I will not give sleep to my eyes, Or slumber to my eyelids; |
5 |
Until I find out a place for Yahweh, A dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob." |
6 |
Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar: |
7 |
"We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at his footstool. |
8 |
Arise, Yahweh, into your resting place; You, and the ark of your strength. |
9 |
Let your priest be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!" |
10 |
For your servant David`s sake, Don`t turn away the face of your anointed one. |
11 |
Yahweh has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: "I will set the fruit of your body on your throne. |
12 |
If your children will keep my covenant, My testimony that I will teach them, Their children also will sit on your throne forevermore." |
13 |
For Yahweh has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation. |
14 |
"This is my resting place forever. Here I will live, for I have desired it. |
15 |
I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread. |
16 |
Her priests I will also clothe with salvation. Her saints will shout aloud for joy. |
17 |
There I will make the horn of David to bud. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed. |
18 |
I will clothe his enemies with shame, But on himself, his crown will be resplendant." Psalm 133 A Song of Ascents. By David. |
