A song of the ascents.{HR}Jehovah, remember for David all his humiliation;
How he swore to Jehovah,{HR}Vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
I will not (if I) come into my house’s tent,{HR}Nor go up on my bed’s couch;
I will not give sleep to mine eyes,{HR}Slumber to mine eyelids,
Until I find a place for Jehovah,{HR}Tabernacles for the Mighty One of Jacob.
Behold, we heard it in Ephrathah;{HR}We found it in fields of forest.
Let us go to his tabernacles;{HR}Let us bow down at his footstool.
Arise, Jehovah, into thy rest,{HR}Thou and the ark of thy strength.
Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness,{HR}And let thy saints shout for joy.
For thy servant David’s sake{HR}Turn not away the face of thine anointed.
Jehovah hath sworn to David [in] truth;{HR}He will not turn from it:{HR}Of the fruit of thy body (belly){HR}Will I set upon thy throne;
If thy sons will keep my covenant{HR}And my testimony that I will teach them,{HR}Their sons also shall sit upon thy throne forever.
For Jehovah hath chosen (in) Zion;{HR}He hath desired [it] for his dwelling:
This [is] my rest forever;{HR}Here will I dwell, for I have desired it.
Her provision will I abundantly bless;{HR}Her poor I will satisfy with bread.
And her priests I will clothe with salvation;{HR}And her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
There will I make David’s horn to bud,{HR}I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.
His enemies will I clothe with shame;{HR}And on him shall his crown flourish.
