Psalms 132

NEW JERUSALEM	LXX
1 [Song of Ascents] Yahweh, remember David and al the hardships he endured,	1 ωδη των αναβαθμων τω δαυιδ ιδου δη τι καλον η τι τερπνον αλλ' η το κατοικειν αδελφους επι το αυτο
2 the oath he swore to Yahweh, his vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:	2 ως μυρον επι κεφαλης το καταβαινον επι πωγωνα τον πωγωνα τον ααρων το καταβαινον επι την ωαν του ενδυματος αυτου
3 'I wil not enter tent or house, wil not climb into bed,	3 ως δροσος αερμων η καταβαινουσα επι τα ορη σιων οτι εκει ενετειλατο κυριος την ευλογιαν και ζωην εως του αιωνος
4 will not al ow myself to sleep, not even to close my eyes,
5 til I have found a place for Yahweh, a dwel ing for the Mighty One of Jacob!'
6 Listen, we heard of it in Ephrathah, we found it at Forest-Fields.
7 Let us go into his dwel ing-place, and worship at his footstool.
8 Go up, Yahweh, to your resting-place, you and the ark of your strength.
9 Your priests are robed in saving justice, your faithful are shouting for joy.
10 For the sake of your servant David, do not reject your anointed.
11 Yahweh has sworn to David, and wil always remain true to his word, 'I promise that I wil set a sonof yours upon your throne.
12 If your sons observe my covenant and the instructions I have taught them, their sons too forevermore wil occupy your throne.'
13 For Yahweh has chosen Zion, he has desired it as a home.
14 'Here shal I rest for evermore, here shal I make my home as I have wished.
15 'I shal generously bless her produce, give her needy their fil of food,
16 I shal clothe her priests with salvation, and her faithful wil sing aloud for joy.
17 'There I shal raise up a line of descendants for David, light a lamp for my anointed;
18 I shal clothe his enemies with shame, while his own crown shall flourish.'
