|
1 Jehovah, remember for David All his affliction;
|
1 O LORD, remember David and all the hardships he endured.
|
|
2 How he sware unto Jehovah, And 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 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, Nor go up into my bed;
|
3 "I will not enter my house or go to my bed--
|
|
4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, Or 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, A tabernacle for the Mighty One of Jacob.
|
5 till I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob."
|
|
6 Lo, we heard of it in Ephrathah: We found it in the field of the wood.
|
6 We heard it in Ephrathah, we came upon it in the fields of Jaar:
|
|
7 We will go into his tabernacles; We will worship at his footstool.
|
7 "Let us go to his dwelling place; let us worship at his footstool--
|
|
8 Arise, O Jehovah, into thy resting-place; 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 priest 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 unto David in truth; 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 will keep my covenant And my testimony that I shall teach them, Their children also shall sit upon thy throne for evermore.
|
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 habitation.
|
13 For the LORD has chosen Zion, he has desired it for his dwelling:
|
|
14 This is my resting-place 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 poor with bread.
|
15 I will bless her with abundant provisions; her poor will I satisfy with food.
|
|
16 Her priests also will I clothe 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 make the horn of David to bud: 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."
