A Song of Ascents.
Jehovah, remember for David
All his affliction;
How he sware unto Jehovah,
And vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob:
Surely I will not come into the {Hebrew: tent.}tabernacle of my house,
Nor go up into {Hebrew: the couch of my bed.}my bed;
I will not give sleep to mine eyes,
Or slumber to mine eyelids;
Until I find out a place for Jehovah,
{Hebrew: Tablernacles.}A tabernacle for the Mighty One of Jacob.
Lo, we heard of it in {Or, Ephraim}Ephrathah:
We found it in the field of {Or, Jaar See 1 Chronicles 13:5.}the wood.
We will go into his tabernacles;
We will worship at his footstool.
Arise, O Jehovah, into thy resting-place;
Thou, and the ark of thy strength.
Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness;
And let thy saints shout for joy.
For thy servant David's sake
Turn not away the face of thine anointed.
Jehovah hath sworn unto David in truth;
He will not turn from it:
Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
If thy children will keep my covenant
And my testimony that I shall teach them,
Their children also shall sit upon thy throne for evermore.
For Jehovah hath chosen Zion;
He hath desired it for his habitation.
This is my resting-place for ever:
Here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
I will {Or, surely}abundantly bless her provision:
I will satisfy her poor with bread.
Her priests also will I clothe with salvation;
And her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
There will I make {Or, a horn to spring forth unto David}the horn of David to bud:
I have {Or, prepared}ordained a lamp for mine anointed.
His enemies will I clothe with shame;
But upon himself shall his crown flourish.
Querverweise zu Psalm 132,10 Ps 132,10
Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it, for David thy father's sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son.
{Or, behold our shield, O God}Behold, O God our shield,And look upon the face of thine anointed.
Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; but I will give one tribe to thy son, for David my servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen.
But thou hast cast off and rejected,Thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.
Howbeit I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand; but I will make him prince all the days of his life, for David my servant's sake whom I chose, {Or, because he kept}who kept my commandments and my statutes;
Thou hast abhorred the covenant of thy servant:Thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.
Nevertheless for David's sake did Jehovah his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem;
O Jehovah God, turn not away the face of thine anointed: remember thy {Or, good deeds See chapter 32:32.}lovingkindnesses to David thy servant.
because David did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, and turned not aside from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
For I will defend this city to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek Jehovah their God, and David their king, and shall come with fear unto Jehovah and to his goodness in the latter days.
