Psalm 132
A song for going up to worship.
1O Lord, remember David and all the hardships he endured.
2Remember how he swore an oath to the Lord
and made this vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3“I will not step inside my house,
4get into my bed, shut my eyes, or close my eyelids
5until I find a place for the Lord,
a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
6Now, we have heard about the ark ⌞of the promise⌟ being in Ephrathah.
We have found it in Jaar.
7Let’s go to his dwelling place.
Let’s worship at his footstool.
8O Lord, arise, and come to your resting place
with the ark of your power.
9Clothe your priests with righteousness.
Let your godly ones sing with joy.
10For the sake of your servant David,
do not reject your anointed one.
11The Lord swore an oath to David.
This is a truth he will not take back:
“I will set one of your own descendants on your throne.
12If your sons are faithful to my promise #132:12 Or “covenant.”
and my written instructions that I will teach them,
then their descendants will also sit on your throne forever.”
13The Lord has chosen Zion.
He wants it for his home.
14“This will be my resting place forever.
Here I will sit enthroned because I want Zion.
15I will certainly bless all that Zion needs.
I will satisfy its needy people with food.
16I will clothe its priests with salvation.
Then its godly ones will sing joyfully.
17There I will make a horn sprout up for David.
I will prepare a lamp for my anointed one.
18I will clothe his enemies with shame,
but the crown on my anointed one will shine.”

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.
