Hebrew Names Version HNV
Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 <<A Ma`alot Song.>> LORD, remember David and all his affliction,
1
A Song of the Ascents. Remember, Jehovah, for David, all his afflictions.
2 How he swore to the LORD, And vowed to the Mighty One of Ya`akov:
2
Who hath sworn to Jehovah. He hath vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3 "Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, Nor go up into my bed;
3
`If I enter into the tent of my house, If I go up on the couch of my bed,
4 I will not give sleep to my eyes, Or slumber to my eyelids;
4
If I give sleep to mine eyes, To mine eyelids -- slumber,
5 Until I find out a place for the LORD, A dwelling for the Mighty One of Ya`akov."
5
Till I do find a place for Jehovah, Tabernacles for the Mighty One of Jacob.
6 Behold, we heard of it in Efratah. We found it in the field of Ya`ar:
6
`Lo, we have heard it in Ephratah, We have found it in the fields of the forest.
7 "We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at his footstool.
7
We come in to His tabernacles, We bow ourselves at His footstool.
8 Arise, LORD, into your resting place; You, and the ark of your strength.
8
Arise, O Jehovah, to Thy rest, Thou, and the ark of Thy strength,
9 Let your Kohen be clothed with righteousness. Let your holy ones shout for joy!"
9
Thy priests do put on righteousness, And Thy pious ones cry aloud.
10 For your servant David's sake, Don't turn away the face of your anointed one.
10
For the sake of David Thy servant, Turn not back the face of Thine anointed.
11 The LORD has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: "I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.
11
Jehovah hath sworn truth to David, He turneth not back from it: Of the fruit of thy body, I set on the throne for thee.
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 thy sons keep My covenant, And My testimonies that I teach them, Their sons also for ever and ever, Do sit on the throne for thee.
13 For the LORD has chosen Tziyon. He has desired it for his habitation.
13
For Jehovah hath fixed on Zion, He hath desired [it] for a seat to Himself,
14 "This is my resting place forever. Here I will live, for I have desired it.
14
This [is] My rest for ever and ever, Here do I sit, for I have desired it.
15 I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread.
15
Her provision I greatly bless, Her needy ones I satisfy [with] bread,
16 Her Kohanim I will also clothe with salvation. Her holy ones will shout aloud for joy.
16
And her priests I clothe [with] salvation, And her pious ones do sing aloud.
17 There I will make the horn of David to bud. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.
17
There I cause to spring up a horn for David, I have arranged a lamp for Mine anointed.
18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, But on himself, his crown will be resplendant."
18
His enemies I do clothe [with] shame, And upon him doth his crown flourish!
