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 132,16 Ps 132,16
Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness;And let thy saints shout for joy.
{[Chapter 12:1 in Hebrew]}Ephraim compasseth me about with falsehood, and the house of Israel with deceit; {Or, and Judah is yet unstedfast with God and with the Holy One who is faithful} but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the Holy One.
Keep me, O Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked;Preserve me from the violent man:Who have purposed to thrust aside my steps.
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy king cometh unto thee; he is just, and {Hebrew: saved.}having {Or, victory}salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, even upon a colt the foal of an ass.
Now therefore arise, O Jehovah God, into thy resting-place, thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O Jehovah God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in {Or, good}goodness.
Jehovah of hosts will defend them; and they shall devour, and shall tread down the sling-stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, like the corners of the altar.
And Jehovah their God will save them in that day as the flock of his people; for they shall be as the stones of a crown, {Or, glittering upon &c.}lifted on high over his land.
For how great is {Or, their}his {Or, prospering}goodness, and how great is {Or, their}his beauty! grain shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.
I will greatly rejoice in Jehovah, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom {Hebrew: decketh himself as a priest.}decketh himself with a garland, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be made full.
For as many of you as were baptized into Christ did put on Christ.
