Salmi 132

BIBBIA RICCIOTTI	NEW JERUSALEM
1 - Cantico de' gradini. Di David. Oh! Com'è bello e giocondoche de' fratelli abitino insieme!	1 [Song of Ascents] Yahweh, remember David and al the hardships he endured,
2 È come l'olio odoroso [sparso] sul capo, che scorre giù sulla barba, sulla barba d'Aronne, che scorre giù sino all'orlo della sua veste.	2 the oath he swore to Yahweh, his vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3 E come la rugiada dell'Hermon, che scende sui monti di Sion. Poichè là il Signore ha destinato la benedizione e la vita in perpetuo!	3 'I wil not enter tent or house, wil not climb into bed,
	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.'
