1A Song of Ascents. Yahweh, remember for David All his affliction; 2How he swore to Yahweh, And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob: 3Surely 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; 5Until I find out a place for Yahweh, A tabernacle for the Mighty One of Jacob. 6Look, we heard of it in Ephrathah: We found it in the field of the forest. 7We will go into his tabernacles; We will worship at his footstool. 8Arise, O Yahweh, into your resting-place; You, and the ark of your strength. 9Let your priest be clothed with righteousness; And let your saints shout for joy. 10For your slave David's sake Don't turn away the face of your anointed. 11Yahweh has sworn to David in truth; He will not turn from it: Of the fruit of your body I will set on your throne. 12If your sons will keep my covenant And my testimony that I will teach them, Their sons also will sit on your throne forevermore. 13For Yahweh has chosen Zion; He has desired it for his habitation. 14This is my resting-place forever: Here I will dwell; for I have desired it. 15I will abundantly bless her provisions: I will satisfy her poor with bread. 16Her priests also I will clothe with salvation; And her saints will shout aloud for joy. 17There I will make the horn of David to bud: I have appointed a lamp for my anointed. 18His enemies I will clothe with shame; But on himself will his crown flourish.
