132:002 how he swore to Yahweh, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
132:003 "Surely I will not come into the structure of my house,
nor go up into my bed;
132:004 I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids;
132:005 until I find out a place for Yahweh, a dwelling for the
Mighty One of Jacob."
132:006 Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the
field of Jaar:
132:007 "We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship
at his footstool.
132:008 Arise, Yahweh, into your resting place; you, and the ark
of your strength.
132:009 Let your priest be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints
shout for joy!"
132:010 For your servant David's sake, don't turn away the face
of your anointed one.
132:011 Yahweh has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it:
"I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.
132:012 If your children will keep my covenant, my testimony
that I will teach them, their children also will sit on
your throne forevermore."
132:013 For Yahweh has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation.
132:014 "This is my resting place forever. Here I will live, for I
have desired it.
132:015 I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her
poor with bread.
132:016 Her priests I will also clothe with salvation. Her saints
will shout aloud for joy.
132:017 There I will make the horn of David to bud. I have ordained
a lamp for my anointed.
132:018 I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself,
his crown will be resplendent."
133:001 <<A Song of Ascents. By David.>> See how good and how pleasant
it is for brothers to live together in unity!
133:002 It is like the precious oil on the head, that ran down on the beard,
even Aaron's beard; that came down on the edge of his robes;
133:003 like the dew of Hermon, that comes down on the hills of Zion:
for there Yahweh gives the blessing, even life forevermore.
134:001 <<A Song of Ascents.>> Look! Praise Yahweh, all you servants
of Yahweh, who stand by night in Yahweh's house!
134:002 Lift up your hands in the sanctuary. Praise Yahweh!
134:003 May Yahweh bless you from Zion; even he who made heaven and earth.
135:001 Praise Yah! Praise the name of Yahweh! Praise him,
you servants of Yahweh,
135:002 you who stand in the house of Yahweh, in the courts of
our God's house.
135:003 Praise Yah, for Yahweh is good. Sing praises to his name,
for that is pleasant.
135:004 For Yah has chosen Jacob for himself; Israel for his own possession.
135:005 For I know that Yahweh is great, that our Lord is above all gods.
135:006 Whatever Yahweh pleased, that he has done, in heaven and in earth,
in the seas and in all deeps;
135:007 who causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth;
who makes lightnings with the rain; who brings forth the wind
