|
1 {A Song of degrees.} Jehovah, remember for David all his affliction;
|
1 O LORD, remember David and all the hardships he endured.
|
|
2 How he swore unto Jehovah, vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob:
|
2 He swore an oath to the LORD and made a vow to 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;
|
3 "I will not enter my house or go to my bed--
|
|
4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, slumber to mine eyelids,
|
4 I will allow no sleep to my eyes, no slumber to my eyelids,
|
|
5 Until I find out a place for Jehovah, habitations for the Mighty One of Jacob. ...
|
5 till I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob."
|
|
6 Behold, we heard of it at Ephratah, we found it in the fields of the wood.
|
6 We heard it in Ephrathah, we came upon it in the fields of Jaar:
|
|
7 Let us go into his habitations, let us worship at his footstool.
|
7 "Let us go to his dwelling place; let us worship at his footstool--
|
|
8 Arise, Jehovah, into thy rest, thou and the ark of thy strength.
|
8 arise, O LORD, and come to your resting place, you and the ark of your might.
|
|
9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness, and let thy saints shout for joy.
|
9 May your priests be clothed with righteousness; may your saints sing for joy."
|
|
10 For thy servant David's sake, turn not away the face of thine anointed.
|
10 For the sake of David your servant, do not reject your anointed one.
|
|
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;
|
11 The LORD swore an oath to David, a sure oath that he will not revoke: "One of your own descendants I will place on your 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.
|
12 if your sons keep my covenant and the statutes I teach them, then their sons will sit on your throne for ever and ever."
|
|
13 For Jehovah hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his dwelling:
|
13 For the LORD has chosen Zion, he has desired it for his dwelling:
|
|
14 This is my rest for ever; here will I dwell, for I have desired it.
|
14 "This is my resting place for ever and ever; here I will sit enthroned, for I have desired it--
|
|
15 I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her needy ones with bread;
|
15 I will bless her with abundant provisions; her poor will I satisfy with food.
|
|
16 And I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
|
16 I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints will ever sing for joy.
|
|
17 There will I cause the horn of David to bud forth; I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.
|
17 "Here I will make a horn grow for David and set up a lamp for my anointed one.
|
|
18 His enemies will I clothe with shame; but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
|
18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown on his head will be resplendent."
