Psalms 132

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	BIBBIA TINTORI
1 A song of ascents. LORD, remember David and all his anxious care;	1 (Salmo graduale. Di David). Oh, come è bello e dolce che dei fratelli dimorino insieme!
2 How he swore an oath to the LORD, vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:	2 E' come l'olio prezioso, che, versato sul capo, scende sulla barba, sulla barba di Aronne, che discende sull'orlo del suo vestito.
3 "I will not enter the house where I live, nor lie on the couch where I sleep;	3 E' come la rugiada dell'Ermon che cade sui monti di Sionne. Perchè là il Signore ha destinata la sua benedizione e la vita per sempre.
4 I will give my eyes no sleep, my eyelids no rest,
5 Till I find a home for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob."
6 "We have heard of it in Ephrathah; we have found it in the fields of Jaar.
7 Let us enter God's dwelling; let us worship at God's footstool."
8 "Arise, LORD, come to your resting place, you and your majestic ark.
9 Your priests will be clothed with justice; your faithful will shout for joy."
10 For the sake of David your servant, do not reject your anointed.
11 The LORD swore an oath to David, a pledge never to be broken: "Your own offspring I will set upon your throne.
12 If your sons observe my covenant, the laws I shall teach them, Their sons, in turn, shall sit forever on your throne."
13 Yes, the LORD has chosen Zion, desired it for a dwelling:
14 "This is my resting place forever; here I will dwell, for I desire it.
15 I will bless Zion with meat; its poor I will fill with bread.
16 I will clothe its priests with blessing; its faithful shall shout for joy.
17 There I will make a horn sprout for David's line; I will set a lamp for my anointed.
18 His foes I will clothe with shame, but on him my crown shall gleam."
