| 1 | Song of ascensions. Remember, O Jehovah, for David with all his affliction. | Remember, O LORD, in David’s favor, all the hardships he endured, | A song of ascents. LORD, remember David and all his self-denial. | |
| 2 | Who sware to Jehovah; he vowed to the mighty one of Jacob: | how he swore to the LORD and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob, | He swore an oath to the LORD, he made a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob: | |
| 3 | If I shall go into the tent of my house, if I shall go up upon the bed of my couch; | “I will not enter my house or get into my bed, | “I will not enter my house or go to my bed, | |
| 4 | If I shall give sleep to mine eyes, slumber to mine eye-lashes, | I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids, | I will allow no sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids, | |
| 5 | Even till I shall find a place for Jehovah, dwellings for the mighty one of Jacob. | until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.” | till I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.” | |
| 6 | Behold, we heard it in Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the forest. | Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar. | We heard it in Ephrathah, we came upon it in the fields of Jaar: | |
| 7 | We will come in to his dwellings: we will worship at the footstool of his feet. | “Let us go to his dwelling place; let us worship at his footstool!” | “Let us go to his dwelling place, let us worship at his footstool, saying, | |
| 8 | Arise, O Jehovah, to thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength. | Arise, O LORD, and go to your resting place, you and the ark of your might. | Arise, LORD, and come to your resting place, you and the ark of your might. | |
| 9 | Thy priests shall put on justice, and thy godly ones shall rejoice. | Let your priests be clothed with righteousness, and let your saints shout for joy. | May your priests be clothed with your righteousness; may your faithful people sing for joy.’” | |
| 10 | For sake of David thy servant thou wilt not turn away the face of thy Messiah. | For the sake of your servant David, do not turn away the face of your anointed one. | For the sake of your servant David, do not reject your anointed one. | |
| 11 | Jehovah sware the truth to David; he will not turn back from it: from the fruit of thy belly I will set upon the throne to thee. | The LORD swore to David a sure oath from which he will not turn back: “One of the sons of your body I will set on your throne. | The LORD swore an oath to David, a sure oath he will not revoke: “One of your own descendants I will place on your throne. | |
| 12 | If thy sons shall watch my covenant and my testimonies, these I shall teach them; also their sons even to forever shall sit upon the throne to thee forever. | If your sons keep my covenant and my testimonies that I shall teach them, their sons also forever shall sit on your throne.” | If your sons keep my covenant and the statutes I teach them, then their sons will sit on your throne for ever and ever.” | |
| 13 | For Jehovah chose in Zion; for he desired it for a dwelling to himself. | For the LORD has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his dwelling place: | For the LORD has chosen Zion, he has desired it for his dwelling, saying, | |
| 14 | This my rest even forever: here I will dwell, for I desired it. | “This is my resting place forever; here I will dwell, for I have desired it. | “This is my resting place for ever and ever; here I will sit enthroned, for I have desired it. | |
| 15 | Blessing I will bless her provision: I will fill her needy with bread. | I will abundantly bless her provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread. | I will bless her with abundant provisions; her poor I will satisfy with food. | |
| 16 | And I will put upon her priests salvation, and her godly ones shall rejoice a rejoicing. | Her priests I will clothe with salvation, and her saints will shout for joy. | I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her faithful people will ever sing for joy. | |
| 17 | There will I cause the horn to David to spring up: I prepared a lamp for my Messiah. | There I will make a horn to sprout for David; I have prepared a lamp for my anointed. | “Here I will make a horn grow for David and set up a lamp for my anointed one. | |
| 18 | I will put shame upon his enemies, and upon him shall his diadem flourish. | His enemies I will clothe with shame, but on him his crown will shine.” | I will clothe his enemies with shame, but his head will be adorned with a radiant crown.” | |
