第 132 篇
求上帝赐福圣殿
上圣殿朝圣之诗。
1耶和华啊，
求你顾念大卫和他所受的一切苦难。
2他曾向你起誓，
向雅各的大能者许愿说：
3-5“我不为耶和华找到居所，
不为雅各的大能者找到安居之处，
必不进家门，
不沾床，不睡觉，不打盹。”
6我们在以法他听到约柜的消息，
在基列·耶琳找到了它。
7让我们进入耶和华的居所，
在祂脚前俯伏敬拜。
8耶和华啊，
求你起来和你大能的约柜一同进入圣所。
9愿你的祭司身披公义，
愿你忠心的子民高声欢唱。
10为了你仆人大卫的缘故，
求你不要弃绝你所膏立的人。
11耶和华曾向大卫起了永不废弃的誓说：
“我必使你的后代继承你的王位。
12你的后代若守我的约，
遵行我教导他们的法度，
他们的子孙必永远坐在你的宝座上。”
13因为耶和华已经拣选了锡安，
愿意将锡安作为祂的居所。
14祂说：“这是我永远的居所；
我要住在这里，
因为我喜爱这地方。
15我要使她粮食充足，
使她里面的穷人饮食无忧。
16我要用救恩作她祭司的衣裳，
城里忠心的子民必高声欢唱。
17我必使大卫的后裔在那里做王，
我必为我所膏立的预备明灯。
18我必使他的仇敌满面羞愧，
但他头上的王冠必光芒四射。”
Psalm 132
A song of ascents.
1Lord, remember David
and all his self-denial.
2He swore an oath to the Lord,
he made a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3‘I will not enter my house
or go to my bed,
4I will allow no sleep to my eyes
or slumber to my eyelids,
5till I find a place for the Lord,
a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.’
6We heard it in Ephrathah,
we came upon it in the fields of Jaar:132:6 Or heard of it in Ephrathah, / we found it in the fields of Jearim. (See 1 Chron. 13:5,6) (and no quotation marks around verses 7-9)
7‘Let us go to his dwelling-place,
let us worship at his footstool, saying,
8“Arise, Lord, and come to your resting-place,
you and the ark of your might.
9May your priests be clothed with your righteousness;
may your faithful people sing for joy.” ’
10For the sake of your servant David,
do not reject your anointed one.
11The Lord swore an oath to David,
a sure oath he will not revoke:
‘One of your own descendants
I will place on your throne.
12If your sons keep my covenant
and the statutes I teach them,
then their sons shall sit
on your throne for ever and ever.’
13For the Lord has chosen Zion,
he has desired it for his dwelling, saying,
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 I will satisfy with food.
16I will clothe her priests with salvation,
and her faithful people shall ever sing for joy.
17‘Here I will make a horn132:17 Horn here symbolises strong one, that is, king. grow for David
and set up a lamp for my anointed one.
18I will clothe his enemies with shame,
but his head shall be adorned with a radiant crown.’
