| [1]A Song of the Ascents. Remember, Jehovah, for David, all his afflictions. |
[1]Lord, remember David with all his affliction. |
| [2]Who hath sworn to Jehovah. He hath vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob: |
[2]Who swear unto the Lord, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob, saying, |
| [3]`If I enter into the tent of my house, If I go up on the couch of my bed, |
[3]I will not enter into the tabernacle of mine house, nor come upon my pallet or bed, |
| [4]If I give sleep to mine eyes, To mine eyelids -- slumber, |
[4]Nor suffer mine eyes to sleep, nor mine eye lids to slumber, |
| [5]Till I do find a place for Jehovah, Tabernacles for the Mighty One of Jacob. |
[5]Until I find out a place for the Lord, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob. |
| [6]`Lo, we have heard it in Ephratah, We have found it in the fields of the forest. |
[6]Lo, we heard of it in Ephratah, and found it in the fields of the forest. |
| [7]We come in to His tabernacles, We bow ourselves at His footstool. |
[7]We will enter into his tabernacles, and worship before his footstool. |
| [8]Arise, O Jehovah, to Thy rest, Thou, and the ark of Thy strength, |
[8]Arise, O Lord, to come into thy rest, thou, and the ark of thy strength. |
| [9]Thy priests do put on righteousness, And Thy pious ones cry aloud. |
[9]Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness, and let thy saints rejoice. |
| [10]For the sake of David Thy servant, Turn not back the face of Thine anointed. |
[10]For thy servant David's sake refuse not the face of thine anointed. |
| [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. |
[11]The Lord hath sworn in truth unto David, and he will not shrink from it, saying, Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne. |
| [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. |
[12]If thy sons keep my covenant, and my testimonies, that I shall teach them, their sons also shall sit upon thy throne forever. |
| [13]For Jehovah hath fixed on Zion, He hath desired [it] for a seat to Himself, |
[13]For the Lord hath chosen Zion, and loved to dwell in it , saying, |
| [14]This [is] My rest for ever and ever, Here do I sit, for I have desired it. |
[14]This is my rest forever: here will I dwell, for I have a delight therein. |
| [15]Her provision I greatly bless, Her needy ones I satisfy [with] bread, |
[15]I will surely bless her victuals, and will satisfy her poor with bread, |
| [16]And her priests I clothe [with] salvation, And her pious ones do sing aloud. |
[16]And will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints shall shout for joy. |
| [17]There I cause to spring up a horn for David, I have arranged a lamp for Mine anointed. |
[17]There will I make the horn of David to bud: for I have ordained a light for mine anointed. |
| [18]His enemies I do clothe [with] shame, And upon him doth his crown flourish! |
[18]His enemies will I clothe with shame, but on him his crown shall flourish. |
