PSALM 132
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1David, and his afflictions all,
Lord, do thou think upon;
2How unto God he sware,
and vow'd to Jacob's mighty One.
3I will not come within my house,
nor rest in bed at all;
4Nor shall mine eyes take any sleep,
nor eyelids slumber shall;
5Till for the Lord a place I find,
where he may make abode;
A place of habitation
for Jacob's mighty God.
6Lo, at the place of Ephratah
of it we understood;
And we did find it in the fields,
and city of the wood.
7We'll go into his tabernacles,
and at his footstool bow.
8Arise, O Lord, into thy rest,
th' ark of thy strength, and thou.
9O let thy priests be clothed, Lord,
with truth and righteousness;
And let all those that are thy saints
shout loud for joyfulness.
10For thine own servant David's sake,
do not deny thy grace;
Nor of thine own anointed one
turn thou away the face.
11The Lord in truth to David sware,
he will not turn from it,
I of thy body's fruit will make
upon thy throne to sit.
12My cov'nant if thy sons will keep,
and laws to them made known,
Their children then shall also sit
for ever on thy throne.
13For God of Sion hath made choice;
there he desires to dwell.
14This is my rest, here still I'll stay;
for I do like it well.
15Her food I'll greatly bless; her poor
with bread will satisfy.
16Her priests I'll clothe with health; her saints
shall shout forth joyfully.
17And there will I make David's horn
to bud forth pleasantly:
For him that mine anointed is
a lamp ordain'd have I.
18As with a garment I will clothe
with shame his en'mies all:
But yet the crown that he doth wear
upon him flourish shall.

Tehillim (Psalms) 132
132
1O יהוה, remember Dawiḏ, All his afflictions;
2How he swore to יהוה, Vowed to the Mighty One of Ya‛aqoḇ:
3“Not to enter into my dwelling-house, Not to get into my bed,
4Not to give sleep to my eyes, Or slumber to my eyelids,”
5Until I find a place for יהוה, A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Ya‛aqoḇ.
6See, we heard of it in Ephrathah; We found it in the fields of the forest.
7Let us go into His dwelling places; Let us bow ourselves at His footstool.
8Arise, O יהוה, to Your place of rest, You and the ark of Your strength.
9Let Your priests put on righteousness, And Your lovingly-committed ones shout for joy.
10For the sake of Your servant Dawiḏ, Do not turn away the face of Your Anointed One.
11יהוה has sworn in truth to Dawiḏ; He does not turn from it, “Of the fruit of your body I set upon your throne.
12If your sons guard My covenant And My witnesses that I teach them, Their sons shall sit upon your throne forever.
13For 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.
15I greatly bless her provision, I satisfy her poor with bread.”
16“And I put deliverance on her priests, And her lovingly-committed ones sing for joy.
17There I make the horn of Dawiḏ grow; I shall set up a lamp for My Anointed One.”
18I put shame on his enemies, While on Him His diadem shall shine.
