Tehillim 132

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.

11Hashem 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) the Keren of Dovid;[#132:17 i.e., Tzemach]

I have ordained a ner (lamp) for My Moshiach.

18His oyevim will I clothe with boshet (shame) ;

but upon him shall his nezer (crown) be resplendent.
