PSALMS 诗篇132

1O Lord , remember David and all the hardships he endured.
2He swore an oath to the Lord and made a vow¹ to the Mighty² One of Jacob:
3"I will not enter my house or go to my bed-
4I will allow no sleep to my eyes, no slumber³ to my eyelids⁴,
5till I find a place for the Lord , a dwelling⁵ for the Mighty One of Jacob."
6We heard it in Ephrathah, we came upon it in the fields of Jaar :
7"Let us go to his dwelling place; let us worship at his footstool-
8arise, O Lord , and come to your resting place, you and the ark of your might.
9May your priests be clothed with righteousness; may your saints sing for joy."
10For the sake of David your servant, do not reject your anointed one.
11The Lord swore an oath to David, a sure oath that he will not revoke⁶: "One of your own descendants I will place on your throne-
12if your sons keep my covenant⁷ and the statutes⁸ I teach them, then their sons will sit on your throne for ever and ever."
13For the Lord has chosen Zion, he has desired it for his dwelling:
14"This is my resting place for ever and ever; here I will sit enthroned, for I have desired it-
15I will bless her with abundant provisions; her poor will I satisfy with food.
16I will clothe her priests with salvation⁹, and her saints will ever sing for joy.
17"Here I will make a horn grow for David and set up a lamp for my anointed one.
18I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown on his head will be resplendent."
