La promesa de Dios a David

Cántico gradual.

132 Señor, acuérdate de David
y de sus muchas aflicciones;
acuérdate, Poderoso de Jacob,
de la promesa que te hizo, cuando dijo:
«No voy a refugiarme en mi casa,
ni voy a entregarme al descanso;
no me permitiré un momento de sueño,
ni pegaré los ojos para dormirme,
hasta que el Señor, el Poderoso de Jacob,
tenga un lugar digno dónde residir.»

En Efrata oímos hablar del arca,
y la hallamos en los campos del bosque.
¡Vamos! ¡Entremos en el santuario!
¡Arrodillémonos ante el estrado de sus pies!

¡Ven, Señor, a tu lugar de reposo!
¡Ven, con tu arca poderosa!
¡Que tus sacerdotes se revistan de justicia,
y que se alegre el pueblo que te es fiel!
10 Puesto que amas a tu siervo David,
no le des la espalda, que es tu elegido.(A)

11 El Señor le hizo a David un juramento,
del cual no va a retractarse:
«A tus hijos los pondré en tu trono,(B)
12 si ellos obedecen mi pacto.
Yo les enseñaré mis testimonios,
y también sus hijos y descendientes
te sucederán en el trono para siempre.»

13 El Señor eligió a Sión,
y decidió establecer allí su santuario.
14 «En este lugar viviré para siempre;
aquí es donde quiero establecer mi trono.
15 Multiplicaré el alimento de mi pueblo,
para que los pobres se sacien de pan.
16 Los sacerdotes se cubrirán de triunfo,
y el pueblo del Señor cantará de alegría.
17 Allí renacerá el poder de David,
y mantendré encendida la lámpara de mi elegido.(C)
18 A sus enemigos los dejaré confundidos,
pero la corona de David mantendrá su esplendor.»

The Eternal Dwelling of God in Zion

A Song of Ascents.

132 Lord, remember David
And all his afflictions;
How he swore to the Lord,
(A)And vowed to (B)the Mighty One of Jacob:
“Surely I will not go into the chamber of my house,
Or go up to the comfort of my bed;
I will (C)not give sleep to my eyes
Or slumber to my eyelids,
Until I (D)find a place for the Lord,
A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

Behold, we heard of it (E)in Ephrathah;
(F)We found it (G)in the fields of [a]the woods.
Let us go into His tabernacle;
(H)Let us worship at His footstool.
(I)Arise, O Lord, to Your resting place,
You and (J)the ark of Your strength.
Let Your priests (K)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 [b]Anointed.

11 (L)The Lord has sworn in truth to David;
He will not turn from it:
“I will set upon your throne (M)the [c]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 (N)For the Lord has chosen Zion;
He has desired it for His [d]dwelling place:
14 “This(O) is My resting place forever;
Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.
15 (P)I will abundantly bless her [e]provision;
I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16 (Q)I will also clothe her priests with salvation,
(R)And her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
17 (S)There I will make the [f]horn of David grow;
(T)I will prepare a lamp for My [g]Anointed.
18 His enemies I will (U)clothe with shame,
But upon Himself His crown shall flourish.”

The Lord Has Chosen Zion

A Song of (A)Ascents.

132 Remember, O Lord, in David's favor,
    all (B)the hardships he endured,
how he swore to the Lord
    and (C)vowed to (D)the Mighty One of Jacob,
“I will not enter my house
    or get into my bed,
I will not (E)give sleep to my eyes
    or slumber to my eyelids,
until I (F)find a place for the Lord,
    a dwelling place for (G)the Mighty One of Jacob.”

Behold, we heard of it in (H)Ephrathah;
    we found it in (I)the fields of Jaar.
“Let us go to his dwelling place;
    let us (J)worship at his (K)footstool!”

(L)Arise, O Lord, and go to your (M)resting place,
    you and the ark of your (N)might.
Let your (O)priests be (P)clothed with righteousness,
    and let your (Q)saints shout for joy.
10 For the sake of your servant David,
    (R)do not turn away the face of (S)your anointed one.

11 (T)The Lord swore to David a sure oath
    (U)from which he will not turn back:
(V)“One of the sons of your body[a]
    I will set on your throne.
12 If your sons keep my covenant
    and my testimonies that I shall teach them,
their sons also forever
    shall (W)sit on your throne.”

13 For the Lord has (X)chosen Zion;
    he has (Y)desired it for his dwelling place:
14 “This is my (Z)resting place forever;
    here I will (AA)dwell, for I have desired it.
15 I will abundantly (AB)bless her provisions;
    I will (AC)satisfy her poor with bread.
16 Her (AD)priests I will clothe with salvation,
    and her (AE)saints will shout for joy.
17 There I will make (AF)a horn to sprout for David;
    I have prepared (AG)a lamp for (AH)my anointed.
18 His enemies I will (AI)clothe with shame,
    but on him his crown will shine.”
