| 1 O Lord, remember in David's favor all the hardships he endured; | 1 O LORD, remember David and all the hardships he endured. |
| 2 how he swore to the Lord and vowed to 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 enter my house or get 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 a place for the Lord, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob." | 5 till I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob." |
