Salm 131 (132)

(II) 

Il-Mulej ħalef wegħda lil David, *
u żgur li ma jerġax lura minnha:
“Wieħed min-nisel tiegħek *
jiena nqiegħed fuq it-tron tiegħek. 

Jekk uliedek iħarsu l-patt tiegħi *
u l-preċetti li jien nagħtihom,
uliedhom ukoll għal dejjem *
joqogħdu fuq it-tron tiegħek.” 

Għax il-Mulej għażel ’il Sijon, *
u xtaqha tkun id-dar tiegħu:
Hawn insib il-mistrieħ tiegħi għal dejjem! *
Fiha rrid noqgħod, għax ħabbejtha! 

Bil-barka nimla l-ħażniet tagħha, *
bil-ħobż inxabba’ l-foqra tagħha.
Bis-salvazzjoni nlibbes il-qassisin tagħha, *
bil-ferħ jgħajtu l-ħbieb tagħha. 

Hemm inqajjem qawwa lil David, *
inħejji mnara għas-sultan, il-midluk tiegħu.
Bil-mistħija nlibbes l-għedewwa tiegħu, *
imma fuqu tiddi l-kuruna tiegħu.” 

Glorja.

Ant. 2: Il-Mulej għażel ’il Sijon biex tkun id-dar tiegħu.

Ant. 3: Il-Mulej Alla tah is-setgħa, il-ġieħ u s-saltna, u l-ġnus kollha jaqduh.

Psalm 132

II

The Lord swore an oath to David; *
he will not go back on his word:
“A son, the fruit of your body, *
will I set upon your throne.

If they keep my covenant in truth *
and my laws that I have taught them,
their sons also shall rule *
on your throne from age to age.”

For the Lord has chosen Zion; *
he has desired it for his dwelling:
“This is my resting-place for ever, *
here have I chosen to live.

I will greatly bless her produce, *
I will fill her poor with bread.
I will clothe her priests with salvation *
and her faithful shall ring out their joy.

There David’s stock will flower: *
I will prepare a lamp for my anointed.
I will cover his enemies with shame *
but on him my crown shall shine.”

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, *
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, *
and will be for ever. Amen.
