132:1

Book V: The Oath of Dawid and the Habitation of the Mighty One

A Song of degrees. 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, remember Dawid, and all his afflictions:
132:2
How he sware unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, and vowed unto the mighty Alahiym of Ya'aqob;
132:3
Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;
132:4
I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,
132:5
Until I find out a place for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, an habitation for the mighty Alahiym of Ya'aqob.
132:6

We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.
132:8
Arise, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.
132:9
Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy qodesh ones shout for joy.

𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 hath sworn in truth unto Dawid; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
132:12
If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.
132:13

The Choice of Tziyon and the Eternal Rest

For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 hath chosen Tziyon; he hath desired it for his habitation.
132:14
This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
132:15
I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.
132:16
I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her qodesh ones shall shout aloud for joy.

The Horn of Dawid and the Lamp of the Anointed

There will I make the horn of Dawid to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.

His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
