Psalms 132

Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

1 Ref A Song of the Ascents. Remember, Jehovah, for David, all his afflictions.

2 Ref Who hath sworn to Jehovah. He hath vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

3 Ref `If I enter into the tent of my house, If I go up on the couch of my bed,

4 Ref If I give sleep to mine eyes, To mine eyelids -- slumber,

5 Ref Till I do find a place for Jehovah, Tabernacles for the Mighty One of Jacob.

6 Ref `Lo, we have heard it in Ephratah, We have found it in the fields of the forest.

7 Ref We come in to His tabernacles, We bow ourselves at His footstool.

8 Ref Arise, O Jehovah, to Thy rest, Thou, and the ark of Thy strength,

9 Ref Thy priests do put on righteousness, And Thy pious ones cry aloud.

10 Ref For the sake of David Thy servant, Turn not back the face of Thine anointed.

11 Ref 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.

12 Ref 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.

13 Ref For Jehovah hath fixed on Zion, He hath desired `it' for a seat to Himself,

14 Ref This `is' My rest for ever and ever, Here do I sit, for I have desired it.

15 Ref Her provision I greatly bless, Her needy ones I satisfy `with' bread,

16 Ref And her priests I clothe `with' salvation, And her pious ones do sing aloud.

17 Ref There I cause to spring up a horn for David, I have arranged a lamp for Mine anointed.

18 Ref His enemies I do clothe `with' shame, And upon him doth his crown flourish!
