| | 1 | Yahweh, remember David and all his affliction,
| |
| | 2 | How he swore to Yahweh, And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
| |
| | 3 | "Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, Nor go up into my bed;
| |
| | 4 | I will not give sleep to my eyes, Or slumber to my eyelids;
| |
| | 5 | Until I find out a place for Yahweh, A dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob."
| |
| | 6 | Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar:
| |
| | 7 | "We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at his footstool.
| |
| | 8 | Arise, Yahweh, into your resting place; You, and the ark of your strength.
| |
| | 9 | Let your priest be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!"
| |
| | 10 | For your servant David's sake, Don't turn away the face of your anointed one.
| |
| | 11 | Yahweh has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: "I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.
| |
| | 12 | If your children will keep my covenant, My testimony that I will teach them, Their children also will sit on your throne forevermore."
| |
| | 13 | For Yahweh has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation.
| |
| | 14 | "This is my resting place forever. Here I will live, for I have desired it.
| |
| | 15 | I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread.
| |
| | 16 | Her priests I will also clothe with salvation. Her saints will shout aloud for joy.
| |
| | 17 | There I will make the horn of David to bud. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.
| |
| | 18 | I will clothe his enemies with shame, But on himself, his crown will be resplendant." Psalm 133 A Song of Ascents. By David.
