| 1 [[A Song of Ascents.]] Remember, O Yahweh, unto David, all his humiliations! |
|
| 2 What he Sware to Yahweh,–Vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob: |
|
| 3 Surely I will not enter the home of my own house, nor ascend my curtained couch; |
|
| 4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, nor, to mine eye-lashes, slumber: |
|
| 5 Until I find a place for Yahweh, habitations for the Mighty One of Jacob. |
|
| 6 Lo! we heard of it at Ephrathah, we found it in the fields of the wood. |
|
| 7 We would enter his habitations, we would bow down at his footstool. |
|
| 8 Arise! O Yahweh, unto thy place of rest, Thou, and the ark of thy strength. |
|
| 9 Thy priests, let them be clothed with righteousness, Thy men of lovingkindness, let them shout for joy! |
|
| 10 For the sake of David thy servant, do not turn away the face of thine Anointed One. |
|
| |
|
| 11 Yahweh hath sworn unto David, in faithfulness, will he not turn from it,–Of the fruit of thy body, will I seat on thy throne. |
|
| 12 If thy sons keep my covenant, and my testimony which I will teach them, even their sons, unto futurity, shall sit on thy throne. |
|
| 13 For Yahweh hath chosen Zion,–He hath desired it as a dwelling for himself: |
|
| 14 This, is my place of rest unto futurity, Here, will I dwell, for I have desired it; |
|
| 15 Her provision, will I abundantly bless, Her needy ones, will I satisfy with bread; |
|
| 16 And, her priests, will I clothe with salvation, and, her men of lovingkindness, shall, shout aloud, for joy; |
|
| 17 There, will I cause to bud a horn to David, I have prepared a lamp for mine Anointed One; |
|
| 18 His enemies, will I clothe with shame, but, upon himself, shall his crown be resplendent. |
