Salmi 132

BIBBIA MARTINI	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Cantico de' gradi di Davidde. Oh quanto buona, e dolce cosa ell'è, che i fratelli siano insieme uniti!	1 [Song of Ascents] Yahweh, remember David and al the hardships he endured,
2 Come quell'unguento sparso sulla testa, il quale cola fin sulla barba, sulla barba di Aronne,	2 the oath he swore to Yahweh, his vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3 E cola fino all'estremità della sua veste: come la rugiada dell'Hermon, che cade sul monte di Sion.	3 'I wil not enter tent or house, wil not climb into bed,
4 Perchè quivi il Signore ha data benedizione, e vita fino in sempiterno.	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.'
