Chapter Text
132:1 A Song of the Ascents. Remember, Jehovah, for David, all his afflictions.
132:2 Who hath sworn to Jehovah. He hath vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
132:3 `If I enter into the tent of my house, If I go up on the couch of my bed,
132:4 If I give sleep to mine eyes, To mine eyelids--slumber,
132:5 Till I do find a place for Jehovah, Tabernacles for the Mighty One of Jacob.
132:6 `Lo, we have heard it in Ephratah, We have found it in the fields of the forest.
132:7 We come in to His tabernacles, We bow ourselves at His footstool.
132:8 Arise, O Jehovah, to Thy rest, Thou, and the ark of Thy strength,
132:9 Thy priests do put on righteousness, And Thy pious ones cry aloud.
132:10 For the sake of David Thy servant, Turn not back the face of Thine anointed.
132:11 Jehovah hath sworn truth to David, He turneth not back from it: Of the fruit of thy body, I set on the throne for thee.
132:12 If 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.
132:13 For Jehovah hath fixed on Zion, He hath desired <FI>it<Fi> for a seat to Himself,
132:14 This <FI>is<Fi> My rest for ever and ever, Here do I sit, for I have desired it.
132:15 Her provision I greatly bless, Her needy ones I satisfy <FI>with<Fi> bread,
132:16 And her priests I clothe <FI>with<Fi> salvation, And her pious ones do sing aloud.
132:17 There I cause to spring up a horn for David, I have arranged a lamp for Mine anointed.
132:18 His enemies I do clothe <FI>with<Fi> shame, And upon him doth his crown flourish!
