Psalm 132
The Scriptures (ISR 1998)

1O יהוה, remember Dawiḏ, All his afflictions;

2How he swore to יהוה, Vowed to the Mighty One of Ya‛aqoḇ:

3“Not to enter into my dwelling-house, Not to get into my bed,

4“Not to give sleep to my eyes, Or slumber to my eyelids,

5“Until I find a place for יהוה, A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Ya‛aqoḇ.”

6See, we heard of it in Ephrathah; We found it in the fields of the forest.

7Let us go into His dwelling places; Let us bow ourselves at His footstool.

8Arise, O יהוה, to Your place of rest, You and the ark of Your strength.

9Let Your priests put on righteousness, And Your kind ones shout for joy.

10For the sake of Your servant Dawiḏ, Do not turn away the face of Your Anointed One.

11יהוה has sworn in truth to Dawiḏ; He does not turn from it, “Of the fruit of your body I set upon your throne.

12“If your sons guard My covenant And My witnesses that I teach them, Their sons shall sit upon your throne forever.”

13For יהוה has chosen Tsiyon, He has desired it for His dwelling:

14“This is My place of rest forever; Here I dwell, for I have desired it.

15“I greatly bless her provision, I satisfy her poor with bread.

16“And I put deliverance on her priests, And her kind ones sing for joy.

17“There I make the horn of Dawiḏ grow; I shall set up a lamp for My Anointed One.

18“I put shame on his enemies, While on Him His diadem shall shine.”
