PSAL. CXXXII.

A Song of degrees.

1 Yhwh, remember David, and all his afflictions: 2 How he sware unto Yhwh, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob; 3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed; 4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids, 5 Until I find out a place for Yhwh, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob. ^{▼▼ an habitation: Heb. habitations.} 6 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood. 7 We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool. 8 Arise, O Yhwh, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength. 9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy. 10 For thy servant David’s sake turn not away the face of thine anointed. 11 Yhwh hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne. ^{▼▼ body: Heb. belly.} 12 If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore. 13 For Yhwh hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation. 14 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it. 15 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread. ^{▼▼ abundantly: or, surely.} 16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy. 17 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed. ^{▼▼ lamp: or, candle.} 18 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
