Psalms
Chapter 132

1 ¹ A song of ascents. ² LORD, remember David and all his anxious care;

登圣殿歌。上主，求你以慈爱怀念达味，和他所有的一切焦思劳瘁：

2 ³ How he swore an oath to the LORD, vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

因为他曾向主立过誓言，向雅各伯的全能者许过愿：

3 ＂I will not enter the house where I live, nor lie on the couch where I sleep;

我决不进入我家中的帐幔，也决不登上我躺卧的床沿，

4 I will give my eyes no sleep, my eyelids no rest,

不容许我的眼睛睡眠，也不让我的眼睑安闲，

5 Till I find a home for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.＂

直到我给上主寻找到一个处所，给雅各伯的全能者将居地觅妥。

6 ⁴ ＂We have heard of it in Ephrathah; we have found it in the fields of Jaar.

看，我们听说约柜在厄弗辣大，我们在雅阿尔平原找到了它。

7 Let us enter God's dwelling; let us worship at God's footstool.＂

请大家一同进他的居所，并在他的脚凳下崇拜说：

8 ＂Arise, LORD, come to your resting place, you and your majestic ark.

上主，请你和你威严的约柜，起来驾临到你安息的地宅。

9 Your priests will be clothed with justice; your faithful will shout for joy.＂

愿你的司祭身披正义，愿你的信徒踊跃欢喜。

10 For the sake of David your servant, do not reject your anointed.

为了你仆人达味的情面，不要将你的受傅者轻看！

11 The LORD swore an oath to David, a pledge never to be broken: ＂Your own offspring I will set upon your throne.

上主既然向达味起了誓，真理的约言决不再收回：＂我要使你的亲生儿子，荣登上你自己的王位；

12 If your sons observe my covenant, the laws I shall teach them, Their sons, in turn, shall sit forever on your throne.＂

若你的子孙遵守我的誓言，也遵守我教训他们的法典，连他们的子孙代代世世，也必定要坐上你的王位。＂

13 Yes, the LORD has chosen Zion, desired it for a dwelling:

的确上主特别拣选了熙雍，希望熙雍作为自己的王宫：

14 ＂This is my resting place forever; here I will dwell, for I desire it.

＂这就是我的永远安息之处，我希望的是常在这里居住。

15 I will bless Zion with meat; its poor I will fill with bread.

我要祝降福这里食粮充裕，穷人们都吃得饱饫无忧，

16 I will clothe its priests with blessing; its faithful shall shout for joy.

使这里的司祭得蒙救助，使这里的信徒踊跃欢愉。

17 ⁵ There I will make a horn sprout for David's line; I will set a lamp for my anointed.

在这里我要使达味的头角高耸，我要给我的受傅者备妥明灯，

18 His foes I will clothe with shame, but on him my crown shall gleam.＂

我要使他的敌人个个耻辱备尝，我要使他的王冠在他的头上发光。＂

Footnotes（注解）

¹ [Psalm 132] A song for a liturgical ceremony in which the ark, the throne of Israel's God, was carried in procession to the temple. The singer asks that David's care for the proper housing of the ark be regarded with favor (Psalm 132:1-5), and tells how it was brought to Jerusalem (Psalm 132:6-10). There follows God's promise of favor to the Davidic dynasty (Psalm 132:11-12) and to Zion (Psalm 132:13-17). The transfer of the ark to the tent in Jerusalem is described in 2 Sam 6.

² [1] All his anxious care: to build the temple. Cf 2 Sam 7:1-17 and 1 Kings 8:17.

³ [2,5] Mighty One of Jacob: one of the titles of Israel's God. Cf Genesis 49:24; Isaiah 49:26; 60:16.

⁴ [6] Ephrathah: the homeland of David. Cf Ruth 4:11. The fields of Jaar: poetic for Kiriath-jearim, a town west of Jerusalem, where the ark remained for several generations. Cf 1 Sam 7:1-2 ; 2 Sam 6:2; 1 Chron 13:5-6.

⁵ [17] A horn sprout for David's line: the image of the horn, a symbol of strength, is combined with that of a ＂sprout,＂ a term used for the Davidic descendant (cf Jeremiah 23:5; 33:15; Zechariah 3:8; 6:12). Early Christians referred the latter designation to Christ as son of David (Luke 1:69)
