第132篇
求上帝賜福聖殿
上聖殿朝聖之詩。
1耶和華啊，
求你顧念大衛和他所受的一切苦難。
2他曾向耶和華起誓，
向雅各的大能者許願說：
3-5「我不為耶和華找到居所，
不為雅各的大能者找到安居之處，
必不進家門，
不沾床，不睡覺，不打盹。」
6我們在以法他聽到約櫃的消息，
在雅珥的田野找到了它。
7讓我們進入耶和華的居所，
在祂腳凳前俯伏敬拜。
8耶和華啊，
求你起來和你大能的約櫃一同進入安息之所。
9願你的祭司身披公義，
願你忠心的子民歡唱。
10為了你僕人大衛的緣故，
求你不要棄絕你所膏立的人。
11耶和華曾向大衛起了永不廢棄的誓說：
「我必使你的後代繼承你的王位。
12你的後代若守我的約，
遵行我教導他們的法度，
他們的子孫必永遠坐在你的寶座上。」
13因為耶和華已經揀選了錫安，
願意將錫安作為祂的居所。
14祂說：「這是我永遠的安息之所；
我要住在這裡，
因為我喜歡這地方。
15我要賜福，使她糧食充足，
使她裡面的窮人飲食無憂。
16我要用救恩作她祭司的衣裳，
她忠心的子民必歡唱。
17我必使大衛的角在那裡興起，
我必為我所膏立的預備明燈。
18我必使他的仇敵抱愧蒙羞，
但他頭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 will 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 will ever sing for joy.
17“Here I will make a horn132:17 Horn here symbolizes 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 will be adorned with a radiant crown.”
