Psalms [Praises] 132:1-13

¹Adonai , remember David Beloved and all his affliction,

²how he swore to Adonai , and vowed to the 'Avir Ya'akov Mighty One of Supplanter:

³“Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, nor go up into my bed;

⁴I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids;

⁵until I find out a place for Adonai, a dwelling for the 'Avir Ya'akov Mighty One of Supplanter.”

⁶Behold, we sh'ma ·heard obeyed· of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar:

⁷“We will go into his dwelling place. We will hawa ·bow low, prostrate· to worship at his footstool.

⁸Arise, Adonai , into your resting place; you, and the ark of your strength.

⁹Let your priest be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!”

¹⁰For your servant David Beloved’s sake, don’t turn away the face of your anointed one.

¹¹Adonai has sworn to David Beloved in truth. He will not turn from it: “I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.

¹²If your children will keep my covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties·, my testimony that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forever more.”

¹³For Adonai has chosen Zion Mountain ridge, Marking. He has desired it for his habitation.
