DAY 16

詩 132 :1 - 18

1 耶和華啊，求你記念大衛所受的一切苦難！
2 他怎樣向耶和華起誓，向雅各的大能者許願，
3 說：我必不進我的帳幕，也不上我的床榻；
4 我不容我的眼睛睡覺，也不容我的眼目打盹；
5 直等我為耶和華尋得所在，為雅各的大能者尋得居所。
6 我們聽說約櫃在以法他，我們在基列，耶琳就尋見了。
7 我們要進他的居所，在他腳凳前下拜。
8 耶和華啊，求你興起，
和你有能力的約櫃同入安息之所！
9 願你的祭司披上公義！願你的聖民歡呼！
10 求你因你僕人大衛的緣故，不要厭棄你的受膏者！
11 耶和華向大衛、憑誠實起了誓，必不反覆，
說：我要使你所生的坐在你的寶座上。
12 你的眾子若守我的約和我所教訓他們的法度，
他們的子孫必永遠坐在你的寶座上。
13 因為耶和華揀選了錫安、願意當作自己的居所、
14 說、這是我永遠安息之所，我要住在這裏，
因為是我所願意的。
15 我要使其中的糧食豐滿、使其中的窮人飽足。
16 我要使祭司披上救恩、聖民大聲歡呼。
17 我要叫大衛的角、在那裏發生，
我為我的受膏者、豫備明燈。
18 我要使他的仇敵、披上羞恥，
但他的冠冕、要在頭上發光。

Psalms 132:1-18

1 LORD, remember David
And all his afflictions;
2 How he swore to the LORD,
And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3 “Surely I will not go into the chamber of my house,
Or go up to the comfort of my bed;
4 I will not give sleep to my eyes
Or slumber to my eyelids,
5 Until I find a place for the LORD,
A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
6 Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah;
We found it in the fields of the woods.
7 Let us go into His tabernacle;
Let us worship at His footstool.
8 Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place,
You and the ark of Your strength.
9 Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness,
And let Your saints shout for joy.
10 For Your servant David’s sake,
Do not turn away the face of Your Anointed.
11 The LORD has sworn in truth to David;
He will not turn from it:
“I will set upon your throne the fruit of your body.
12 If your sons will keep My covenant
And My testimony which I shall teach them,
Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forevermore.”
13 For the LORD has chosen Zion;
He has desired it for His dwelling place:
14 “This is My resting place forever;
Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.
15 I will abundantly bless her provision;
I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation,
And her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
17 There I will make the horn of David grow;
I will prepare a lamp for My Anointed.
18 His enemies I will clothe with shame,
But upon Himself His crown shall flourish.”
