Psalms 132

¹Yahweh, do not forget King David

²He made a solemn promise to you,

³He said, “I will not go home,

⁴I will not sleep at all

⁵until I build a place for Yahweh,

⁶In Bethlehem we heard news about the sacred chest.

⁷Later we said, “Let’s go to the temple of Yahweh in Jerusalem;

⁸Yahweh, come to the place where you live eternally,

⁹I want/desire that the righteous behavior of your priests will always be evident,

¹⁰You chose David to serve you as king of Israel;

¹¹Yahweh, you made a solemn promise to David,

¹²If they keep my agreement with them

¹³Yahweh has chosen Jerusalem;

¹⁴he said, “This is the city where I will live forever [DOU];

¹⁵I will give to the people of Jerusalem all that they need;

¹⁶I will cause the priests to behave in a manner worthy of being ones whom I have saved;

¹⁷There in Jerusalem I will cause one of David’s descendants [MET] to become a great king;

¹⁸I will defeat his enemies and cause them to be very ashamed/disgraced;
