3 "Surely I will not come into the structure 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 my eyes, Or slumber to my eyelids;
|
4 I will allow no sleep to my eyes, no slumber to my eyelids,
|
|
5 Until I find out a place for Yahweh, A dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob."
|
5 till I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob."
|

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 your children will keep my covenant, My testimony that I will teach them, Their children also will sit on your throne forevermore."
|
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."
|

|
|
