| 1 A Song of degrees. Jehovah, remember for David all his affliction; |
|
| 2 How he swore unto Jehovah, vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob: |
|
| 3 I will not come into the tent of my house, I will not go up to the couch of my bed; |
|
| 4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, slumber to mine eyelids, |
|
| 5 Until I find out a place for Jehovah, habitations for the Mighty One of Jacob. ... |
|
| 6 Behold, we heard of it at Ephratah, we found it in the fields of the wood. |
|
| 7 Let us go into his habitations, let us worship at his footstool. |
|
| 8 Arise, Jehovah, into thy rest, thou and the ark of thy strength. |
|
| 9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness, and let thy saints shout for joy. |
|
| 10 For thy servant David's sake, turn not away the face of thine anointed. |
|
| 11 Jehovah hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it: Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne; |
|
| 12 If thy children keep my covenant, and my testimonies which I will teach them, their children also for evermore shall sit upon thy throne. |
|
| 13 For Jehovah hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his dwelling: |
|
| 14 This is my rest for ever; here will I dwell, for I have desired it. |
|
| 15 I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her needy ones with bread; |
|
| 16 And I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints shall shout aloud for joy. |
|
| 17 There will I cause the horn of David to bud forth; I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed. |
|
| 18 His enemies will I clothe with shame; but upon himself shall his crown flourish. |
