LXX Brenton's Greek Septuagint
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Ὠδὴ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν. Μνήσθητι Κύριε τοῦ Δαυὶδ, καὶ πάσης τῆς πρᾳότητος αὐτοῦ·
132:1 A Song of Ascents. Yahweh, remember David and all his affliction,
2 Ὡς ὤμοσε τῷ Κυρίῳ, ηὔξατο τῷ Θεῷ Ἰακώβ·
132:2 how he swore to Yahweh, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3 Εἰ εἰσελεύσομαι εἰς σκήνωμα οἴκου μου, εἰ ἀναβήσομαι ἐπὶ κλίνης στρωμνῆς μου·
132:3 “Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, nor go up into my bed;
4 Εἰ δώσω ὕπνον τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς μοῦ, καὶ τοῖς βλεφάροις μου νυσταγμὸν, καὶ ἀνάπαυσιν τοῖς κροτάφοις μου·
132:4 I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids,
5 Ἕως οὗ εὕρω τόπον τῷ Κυρίῳ, σκήνωμα τῷ Θεῷ Ἰακώβ.
132:5 until I find out a place for Yahweh, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
6 Ἰδοὺ ἠκούσαμεν αὐτὴν ἐν Ἐφραθὰ, εὕρομεν αὐτὴν ἐν τοῖς πεδίοις τοῦ δρυμοῦ.
132:6 Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar.
7 Εἰσελευσώμεθα εἰς τὰ σκηνώματα αὐτοῦ· προσκυνήσωμεν εἰς τὸν τόπον οὗ ἔστησαν οἱ πόδες αὐτοῦ.
132:7 “We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at his footstool.”
8 Ἀνάστηθι Κύριε εἰς τὴν ἀνάπαυσίν σου, σὺ καὶ ἡ κιβωτὸς τοῦ ἁγιάσματός σου.
132:8 Arise, Yahweh, into your resting place, you, and the ark of your strength.
9 Οἱ ἱερεῖς σου ἐνδύσονται δικαιοσύνην, καὶ οἱ ὅσιοί σου ἀγαλλιάσονται.
132:9 Let your priests be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!
10 Ἕνεκεν Δαυὶδ τοῦ δούλου σου, μὴ ἀποστρέψῃς τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ χριστοῦ σου.
132:10 For your servant David’s sake, don’t turn away the face of your anointed one.
11 Ὤμοσε Κύριος τῷ Δαυὶδ ἀλήθειαν, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀθετήσει αὐτὴν, ἐκ καρποῦ τῆς κοιλίας σου, θήσομαι ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνον σου.
132:11 Yahweh has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: “I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.
12 Ἐὰν φυλάξωνται οἱ υἱοί σου τὴν διαθήκην μου, καὶ τὰ μαρτύριά μου ταῦτα ἃ διδάξω αὐτοὺς, καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτῶν ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος καθιοῦνται ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου σου.
132:12 If your children will keep my covenant, my testimony that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forever more.”
13 Ὅτι ἐξελέξατο Κύριος τὴν Σιὼν, ᾑρετίσατο αὐτὴν εἰς κατοικίαν ἑαυτῷ.
132:13 For Yahweh has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation.
14 Αὕτη ἡ κατάπαυσίς μου εἰς αἰῶνα αἰῶνος, ὧδε κατοικήσω ὅτι ᾑρετισάμην αὐτήν.
132:14 “This is my resting place forever. I will live here, for I have desired it.
15 Τὴν θήραν αὐτῆς εὐλογῶν εὐλογήσω, τοὺς πτωχοὺς αὐτῆς χορτάσω ἄρτων.
132:15 I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16 Τοὺς ἱερεῖς αὐτῆς ἐνδύσω σωτηρίαν, καὶ οἱ ὅσιοι αὐτῆς ἀγαλλιάσει ἀγαλλιάσονται.
132:16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation. Her saints will shout aloud for joy.
17 Ἐκεῖ ἐξανατελῶ κέρας τῷ Δαυὶδ, ἡτοίμασα λύχνον τῷ χριστῷ σου.
132:17 I will make the horn of David to bud there. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.
18 Τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτοῦ ἐνδύσω αἰσχύνην, ἐπὶ δὲ αὐτὸν ἐξανθήσει τὸ ἁγίασμά μου.
132:18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will shine.”

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations). Verse numbers below follow the Hebrew/English numbering: 132.

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
