Psalms 132

A Song of degrees.

1YhwhH3068, rememberH2142 DavidH1732, and all his afflictionsH6031:

2How he swareH7650 unto YhwhH3068, and vowedH5087 unto the mightyH46 God of JacobH3290;

3Surely I will not comeH935 into the tabernacleH168 of my houseH1004, nor go upH5927 into my bedH3326H6210;

4I will not giveH5414 sleepH8153 to mine eyesH5869, or slumberH8572 to mine eyelidsH6079,

5Until I find outH4672 a placeH4725 for YhwhH3068, an habitationH4908 for the mightyH46 God of JacobH3290.1

6Lo, we heardH8085 of it at EphratahH672: we foundH4672 it in the fieldsH7704 of the woodH3293.

7We will goH935 into his tabernaclesH4908: we will worshipH7812 at his footstoolH7272H1916.

8AriseH6965, O YhwhH3068, into thy restH4496; thou, and the arkH727 of thy strengthH5797.

9Let thy priestsH3548 be clothedH3847 with righteousnessH6664; and let thy saintsH2623 shout for joyH7442.

10For thy servantH5650 David’sH1732 sake turn not awayH7725 the faceH6440 of thine anointedH4899.

11YhwhH3068 hath swornH7650 in truthH571 unto DavidH1732; he will not turnH7725 from it; Of the fruitH6529 of thy bodyH990 will I setH7896 upon thy throneH3678.2

12If thy childrenH1121 will keepH8104 my covenantH1285 and my testimonyH5713 thatH2097H2090 I shall teachH3925 them, their childrenH1121 shall also sitH3427 upon thy throneH3678 for evermoreH5703.

13For YhwhH3068 hath chosenH977 ZionH6726; he hath desiredH183 it for his habitationH4186.

14This is my restH4496 for everH5703: here will I dwellH3427; for I have desiredH183 it.

15I will abundantlyH1288 blessH1288 her provisionH6718: I will satisfyH7646 her poorH34 with breadH3899.3

16I will also clotheH3847 her priestsH3548 with salvationH3468: and her saintsH2623 shall shout aloudH7442 for joyH7444.

17There will I makeH6779 the hornH7161 of DavidH1732 to budH6779: I have ordainedH6186 a lampH5216 for mine anointedH4899.4

18His enemiesH341 will I clotheH3847 with shameH1322: but upon himself shall his crownH5145 flourishH6692.
