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