1A song of ascents. O LORD, remember on behalf of David all the hardships he endured,A Song of Ascents. Yahweh, remember David and all his affliction,A Song of degrees. Lord, remember David, and all his afflictions:A Song of Ascents. Jehovah, remember for David All his affliction;2how he swore an oath to the LORD, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:how he swore to Yahweh, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:How he sware unto the Lord, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;How he sware unto Jehovah, And vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob:3“I will not enter my house or get into my bed,“Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, nor go up into my bed;Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, Nor go up into my bed;4I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids,I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,I will not give sleep to mine eyes, Or slumber to mine eyelids;5until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”until I find out a place for Yahweh, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”Until I find out a place for the Lord, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.Until I find out a place for Jehovah, A tabernacle for the Mighty One of Jacob.6We heard that the ark was in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar.Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.Lo, we heard of it in Ephrathah: We found it in the field of the wood.7Let us go to His dwelling place; let us worship at His footstool.“We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at his footstool.”We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.We will go into his tabernacles; We will worship at his footstool.8Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength.Arise, Yahweh, into your resting place, you, and the ark of your strength.Arise, O Lord, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.Arise, O Jehovah, into thy resting-place; Thou, and the ark of thy strength.9May Your priests be clothed with righteousness, and Your saints shout for joy.Let your priests be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; And let thy saints shout for joy.10For the sake of Your servant David, do not reject Your anointed one.For your servant David’s sake, don’t turn away the face of your anointed one.For thy servant David’s sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.For thy servant David’s sake Turn not away the face of thine anointed.11The LORD swore an oath to David, a promise He will not revoke: “One of your descendants I will place on your throne.Yahweh has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: “I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.The Lord hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.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.12If your sons keep My covenant and the testimony I will teach them, then their sons will also sit on your throne forever and ever.”If your children will keep my covenant, my testimony that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forever more.”If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.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.13For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His home:For Yahweh has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation.For the Lord hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.For Jehovah hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it for his habitation.14“This is My resting place forever and ever; here I will dwell, for I have desired this home.“This is my resting place forever. I will live here, for I have desired it.This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.This is my resting-place for ever: Here will I dwell; for I have desired it.15I will bless her with abundant provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread.I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread.I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.16I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints will sing out in joy.I will also clothe her priests with salvation. Her saints will shout aloud for joy.I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.Her priests also will I clothe with salvation; And her saints shall shout aloud for joy.17There I will make a horn grow for David; I have prepared a lamp for My anointed one.I will make the horn of David to bud there. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.18I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown upon him will gleam.”I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will shine.”His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.His enemies will I clothe with shame; But upon himself shall his crown flourish.
