תהילים 132

1
שִׁיר הַמַּעֲלוֹת זְכוֹר־יְהֹוָה לְדָוִד אֵת כׇּל־עֻנּוֹתוֹ׃
A song of ascents. O ETERNAL One, remember in David’s favor his extreme self-denial,
2
אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּע לַיהֹוָה נָדַר לַאֲבִיר יַעֲקֹב׃
how he swore to GOD, vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob,
3
אִם־אָבֹא בְּאֹהֶל בֵּיתִי אִם־אֶעֱלֶה עַל־עֶרֶשׂ יְצוּעָי׃
“I will not enter my house, nor will I mount my bed,
4
אִם־אֶתֵּן שְׁנַת לְעֵינָי לְעַפְעַפַּי תְּנוּמָה׃
I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids
5
עַד־אֶמְצָא מָקוֹם לַיהֹוָה מִשְׁכָּנוֹת לַאֲבִיר יַעֲקֹב׃
until I find a place for GOD, an abode for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
6
הִנֵּה־שְׁמַעֲנוּהָ בְאֶפְרָתָה מְצָאנוּהָ בִּשְׂדֵי־יָעַר׃
We heard it was in Ephrath; we came upon it in the region of Jaar.
7
נָבוֹאָה לְמִשְׁכְּנוֹתָיו נִשְׁתַּחֲוֶה לַהֲדֹם רַגְלָיו׃
Let us enter God’s abode, bow at the divine footstool.
8
קוּמָה יְהֹוָה לִמְנוּחָתֶךָ אַתָּה וַאֲרוֹן עֻזֶּךָ׃
Advance, O ETERNAL One, to Your resting-place, You and Your mighty Ark!
9
כֹּהֲנֶיךָ יִלְבְּשׁוּ־צֶדֶק וַחֲסִידֶיךָ יְרַנֵּנוּ׃
Your priests are clothed in triumph; Your loyal ones sing for joy.
10
בַּעֲבוּר דָּוִד עַבְדֶּךָ אַל־תָּשֵׁב פְּנֵי מְשִׁיחֶךָ׃
For the sake of Your servant David do not reject Your anointed one.
11
נִשְׁבַּע־יְהֹוָה  לְדָוִד אֱמֶת לֹא־יָשׁוּב מִמֶּנָּה מִפְּרִי בִטְנְךָ אָשִׁית לְכִסֵּא־לָךְ׃
GOD swore to David a firm oath that will not be renounced, “One of your own issue I will set upon your throne.
12
אִם־יִשְׁמְרוּ בָנֶיךָ  בְּרִיתִי וְעֵדֹתִי זוֹ אֲלַמְּדֵם גַּם־בְּנֵיהֶם עֲדֵי־עַד יֵשְׁבוּ לְכִסֵּא־לָךְ׃
If your sons keep My covenant and My decrees that I teach them, then their sons also, to the end of time, shall sit upon your throne.”
13
כִּי־בָחַר יְהֹוָה בְּצִיּוֹן אִוָּהּ לְמוֹשָׁב לוֹ׃
For GOD has chosen Zion, desiring it for a seat.
14
זֹאת־מְנוּחָתִי עֲדֵי־עַד פֹּה־אֵשֵׁב כִּי אִוִּתִיהָ׃
“This is my resting-place for all time; here I will dwell, for I desire it.
15
צֵידָהּ בָּרֵךְ אֲבָרֵךְ אֶבְיוֹנֶיהָ אַשְׂבִּיעַ לָחֶם׃
I will amply bless its store of food, give its needy their fill of bread.
16
וְכֹהֲנֶיהָ אַלְבִּישׁ יֶשַׁע וַחֲסִידֶיהָ רַנֵּן יְרַנֵּנוּ׃
I will clothe its priests in victory, its loyal ones shall sing for joy.
17
שָׁם אַצְמִיחַ קֶרֶן לְדָוִד עָרַכְתִּי נֵר לִמְשִׁיחִי׃
There I will make a horn sprout for David; I have prepared a lamp for My anointed one.
18
אוֹיְבָיו אַלְבִּישׁ בֹּשֶׁת וְעָלָיו יָצִיץ נִזְרוֹ׃ {פ}
I will clothe his enemies in disgrace, while on him his crown shall sparkle.”
