Yahweh, remember David and all his affliction, |
| 132.2 |
how he swore to Yahweh, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob: |
| 132.3 |
“Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, nor go up into my bed; |
| 132.4 |
I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids; |
| 132.5 |
until I find out a place for Yahweh, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.” |
| 132.6 |
Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar: |
| 132.7 |
“We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at his footstool. |
| 132.8 |
Arise, Yahweh, into your resting place; you, and the ark of your strength. |
| 132.9 |
Let your priest be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!” |
| 132.10 |
For your servant David’s sake, don’t turn away the face of your anointed one. |
| 132.11 |
Yahweh has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: “I will set the fruit of your body on your throne. |
| 132.12 |
If your children will keep my covenant, my testimony that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forever more.” |
| 132.13 |
For Yahweh has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation. |
| 132.14 |
“This is my resting place forever. Here I will live, for I have desired it. |
| 132.15 |
I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread. |
| 132.16 |
Her priests I will also clothe with salvation. Her saints will shout aloud for joy. |
| 132.17 |
There I will make the horn of David to bud. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed. |
| 132.18 |
I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will be resplendent.” |
