¹ A Song of Ascents. O Jehovah, remember David with all his afflictions;² how he swore to Jehovah; he vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob,³ If I will go into the tent of my house, if I go up on the couch of my bed,⁴ if I give sleep to my eyes, slumber to my eyelids,⁵ until I search out a place for Jehovah, dwellings for the Mighty One of Jacob.⁶ Lo, we have heard of it at Ephratah; we found it in the fields of the forest;⁷ we will enter into His tabernacles; we will worship at His footstool.⁸ Arise, O Jehovah, into Your rest; You, and the ark of Your strength.⁹ Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness, and let Your saints shout for joy.¹⁰ For Your servant David's sake do not turn away the face of Your anointed.

¹¹ Jehovah has sworn to David in truth; He will not turn from it; I will set one of the fruit of your body on the throne for you.¹² If your sons will keep My covenant and My testimonies which I will teach them, their sons shall also sit on the throne for You forever.¹³ Jehovah has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His dwelling-place.¹⁴ This is My rest till forever; I will dwell here; I have desired it.¹⁵ Blessing I will bless her poor with provisions; I will satisfy her poor with food.¹⁶ And I will clothe her priests with salvation; and her saints shall surely shout.¹⁷ I will make the horn of David to sprout; I have arranged a lamp for My Anointed.¹⁸ I will clothe his enemies with shame, but His crown shall flourish upon him.
