圣咏集 132

1O Lord, remember David, and all his meekness.

2How he swore to the Lord, he vowed a vow to the God of Jacob:

3If I shall enter into the tabernacle of my house: if I shall go up into the bed wherein I lie:

4If I shall give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids,

5Or rest to my temples: until I find out a place for the Lord, a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.

6Behold we have heard of it in Ephrata: we have found it in the fields of the wood.

7We will go into his tabernacle: We will adore in the place where his feet stood.

8Arise, O Lord, into thy resting place: thou and the ark, which thou hast sanctified.

9Let thy priests be clothed with justice: and let thy saints rejoice.

10For thy servant David’s sake, turn not away the face of thy anointed.

11The Lord hath sworn truth to David, and he will not make it void: of the fruit of thy womb I will set upon thy throne.

12If thy children will keep thy covenant, and these my testimonies which I shall teach them: Their children also for evermore shall sit upon thy throne.

13For the Lord hath chosen Sion: he hath chosen it for his dwelling.

14This is my rest for ever and ever: here will I dwell, for I have chosen it.

15Blessing, I will bless her widow: I will satisfy her poor with bread.

16I will clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall rejoice with exceeding great joy.

17There will I bring forth a horn to David: I have prepared a lamp for my anointed.

18His enemies I will clothe with confusion: but upon him will my sanctification flourish.

1Canticum graduum. [Memento, Domine, David, et omnis mansuetudinis ejus:

2sicut juravit Domino; votum vovit Deo Jacob:

3Si introiero in tabernaculum domus meæ; si ascendero in lectum strati mei;

4si dedero somnum oculis meis, et palpebris meis dormitationem,

5et requiem temporibus meis, donec inveniam locum Domino, tabernaculum Deo Jacob.

6Ecce audivimus eam in Ephrata; invenimus eam in campis silvæ.

7Introibimus in tabernaculum ejus; adorabimus in loco ubi steterunt pedes ejus.

8Surge, Domine, in requiem tuam, tu et arca sanctificationis tuæ.

9Sacerdotes tui induantur justitiam, et sancti tui exsultent.

10Propter David servum tuum non avertas faciem christi tui.

11Juravit Dominus David veritatem, et non frustrabitur eam: De fructu ventris tui ponam super sedem tuam.

12Si custodierint filii tui testamentum meum, et testimonia mea hæc quæ docebo eos, et filii eorum usque in sæculum sedebunt super sedem tuam.

13Quoniam elegit Dominus Sion: elegit eam in habitationem sibi.

14Hæc requies mea in sæculum sæculi; hic habitabo, quoniam elegi eam.

15Viduam ejus benedicens benedicam; pauperes ejus saturabo panibus.

16Sacerdotes ejus induam salutari, et sancti ejus exsultatione exsultabunt.

17Illuc producam cornu David; paravi lucernam christo meo.

18Inimicos ejus induam confusione; super ipsum autem efflorebit sanctificatio mea.]

1A Canticle in steps. O Lord, remember David and all his meekness,

2how he swore to the Lord, how he made a vow to the God of Jacob:

3I shall not enter into the tabernacle of my house, nor climb into the bed where I lie down;

4I shall not give sleep to my eyes, nor slumber to my eyelids

5and rest to my temples, until I find a place for the Lord, a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.

6Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We discovered it in the fields of the forest.

7We will enter into his tabernacle. We will adore in the place where his feet stood.

8Rise up, O Lord, into your resting place. You and the ark of your sanctification.

9Let your priests be clothed with justice, and let your saints exult.

10For the sake of your servant David, do not turn away the face of your Christ.

11The Lord has sworn the truth to David, and he will not disappoint: I will set upon your throne from the fruit of your lineage.

12If your sons will keep my covenant and these, my testimonies, which I will teach to them, then their sons will sit upon your throne even forever.

13For the Lord has chosen Zion. He has chosen it as his dwelling place.

14This is my resting place, forever and ever. Here I will dwell, for I have chosen it.

15When blessing, I will bless her widow. I will satisfy her poor with bread.

16I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints will rejoice with great joy.

17There, I will produce a horn to David. There, I have prepared a lamp for my Christ.

18I will clothe his enemies with confusion. But my sanctification will flourish over him.
