PSALM 132
1 The song of degrees. Lord, have thou mind on David; and of all his mildness. (A song for steps of ascending. Lord, remember David; and all his troubles and tribulations.)
2 As he swore to the Lord; he made a vow to [the] God of Jacob.
3 I shall not enter into the tabernacle of mine house; I shall not ascend into the bed of my resting.
4 I shall not give sleep to mine eyes; and napping to mine eyelids. (I shall not give sleep to my eyes; or napping to my eyelids.)
5 And rest to my temples, till I find a place to the Lord; a tabernacle to [the] God of Jacob. (Until I find a place for the Lord; yea, a dwelling place for the Mighty God of Jacob.)
6 Lo! we heard that (the) ark of (the) testament(is) in Ephratah, [or Lo! we have heard (of) it in Ephratah]; we found it in the fields of the wood. (Behold! we have heard that the Covenant Box is in Ephratah; we found it in the fields of Jaar, (or of Jearim).)
7 We shall enter into the tabernacle of him (or We shall go into his Tabernacle, or his dwelling place); we shall worship in the place, where his feet stood.
8 Lord, rise thou into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thine hallowing. (Arise, O Lord, and come back to thy resting place; thou, and the Ark of thy power.)
9 Thy priests be clothed with rightfulness; and thy saints make full out joy. (Let thy priests be clothed in righteousness; and thy saints rejoice.)
10 For David, thy servant; turn thou not away the face of thy christ. (For the sake of thy servant David; turn thou not away thy face from thy anointed king.)
11 The Lord swore (in) truth to David, and he shall not make him [in] vain; Of the fruit of thy womb I shall set on thy seat. (The Lord swore truthfully to David, and he did not say in vain, I shall put the fruit of thy womb upon thy throne.)
12 If thy sons shall keep my testament; and my witnessings, these which I shall teach them. And the sons of them till into the world; they shall set on thy seat. (And if thy sons shall keep my covenant, and obey my teachings, which I shall teach them; then their sons shall sit on thy throne forever.)
13 For the Lord chose Zion; he chose it into (a) dwelling to himself (or he chose it for his dwelling place).
14 This is my rest into the world of world (or This shall be my resting place forever and ever); I shall dwell here, for I chose it.
15 I blessing shall bless the widow of it; I shall [ful] fill with loaves the poor men of it. (I blessing shall blessZion’s widows; and I shall fulfill her poor with bread.)
16 I shall clothe with health the priests thereof; and the holy men thereof shall make full out joy in full out joying/in full out rejoicing. (I shall clothe her priests with salvation, or with deliverance; and her holy men shall make great joy rejoicing.)
17 Thither I shall bring forth the horn of David; I [have] made ready a lantern to my christ (or I have prepared a lantern for my anointed king).
18 I shall clothe his enemies with shame; but mine hallowing shall flower out on him (or but a shining crown shall be upon his head).
