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 132
132
(Shir HaMa'alot)
1 Hashem, remember Dovid, and all his afflictions;
2How he swore unto Hashem, and vowed unto Avir Ya'akov (the Mighty One of Ya'akov);
3Surely I will not come into the ohel of my bais, nor go up into my bed;
4I will not give sleep to mine eyes, nor tenumah (slumber) to mine eyelids,
5Until I find a makom (place) for Hashem, even mishkanot for the Avir Ya'akov.
6Hinei, we heard of it at Ephratah; we found it in the sedei Ya'ar (fields of Ya'ar).
7We will go into His mishkanot; we will worship at the hadom (footstool) of His raglayim.
8Arise, Hashem, into Thy menuchah (resting place); Thou, and the Aron of Thy oz (might).
9Let Thy Kohanim be clothed with tzedek; and let Thy chasidim sing for joy.
10For the sake of Dovid Thy Eved, do not turn away the face of Thine Moshiach.#132:10 See Isa 52:13; 53:11
11 Hashem hath sworn in emes unto Dovid; He will not turn from His oath: Of the p'ri (fruit) of thy beten (body) will I set upon thy kisse (throne).
12If thy Banim are shomer over My Brit and My Edot that I shall teach them, their Banim shall also sit upon thy kisse adei-ad (forevermore).
13For Hashem hath chosen Tziyon; He hath desired her for His moshav.
14This is My menuchah (resting place) adei-ad (forever); here will I dwell; for I have desired her.
15I will place a bountiful brocha on her provision; I will satisfy her poor with lechem.
16I will also clothe her Kohanim with Yesha (salvation); and her chasidim shall sing aloud for joy.
17There atzmi'ach (I will make sprout)#132:17 i.e., Tzemach the Keren of Dovid; I have ordained a ner (lamp) for My Moshiach.
18His oyevim will I clothe with boshet (shame); but upon him#132:18 Moshiach shall his nezer (crown) be resplendent.
