Psalms 132

(A song for worship.)
The Lord Is Always with His People
1Our Lord, don't forget David
and how he suffered.
2Mighty God of Jacob,
remember how he promised:
3“I won't go home
or crawl into bed
4or close my eyelids,
5until I find a home for you,
the mighty Lord God of Jacob.”

2 Ch 6.41,42. When we were in Ephrath,
we heard that the sacred chest
was somewhere near Jaar.
7Then we said, “Let's go
to the throne of the Lord
and worship at his feet.”
8Come to your new home, Lord,
you and the sacred chest
with all its power.
9Let victory be like robes
for the priests;
let your faithful people
celebrate and shout.
10David is your chosen one,
so don't reject him.

2 S 7.12-16; 1 Ch 17.11-14; Ps 89.3,4; Ac 2.30. You made a solemn promise
to David, when you said,
“I, the Lord, promise
that someone in your family
will always be king.
12If they keep our agreement
and follow my teachings,
then someone in your family
will rule forever.”
13You have gladly chosen Zion
as your home, our Lord.
14You said, “This is my home!
I will live here forever.
15I will bless Zion with food,
and even the poor will eat
until they are full.
16Victory will be like robes
for the priests,
and its faithful people
will celebrate and shout.
17 #
1 K 11.36; Ps 18.28. I will give mighty power
to the kingdom of David.
Each of my chosen kings
will shine like a lamp
18and wear a sparkling crown.
But I will disgrace
their enemies.”

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.
