Psalm 132 - The Scriptures 1998

¹ O יהוה, remember Dawiḏ

² How he swore to יהוה, Vowed to the Mighty One of Yaʽ

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 Yaʽ

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

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

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

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

¹⁰ For the sake of Your servant Dawiḏ

¹¹ יהוה  has sworn in truth to Dawiḏ

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

¹³ For 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

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