| 1. | {A Song of degrees.} Jehovah, remember for David all his affliction; |
| 2. | How he swore unto Jehovah, vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob: |
| 3. | I will not come into the tent of my house, I will not go up to the couch of my bed; |
| 4. | I will not give sleep to mine eyes, slumber to mine eyelids, |
| 5. | Until I find out a place for Jehovah, habitations for the Mighty One of Jacob. ... |
| 6. | Behold, we heard of it at Ephratah, we found it in the fields of the wood. |
| 7. | Let us go into his habitations, let us worship at his footstool. |
| 8. | Arise, Jehovah, into thy rest, thou and the ark of thy strength. |
| 9. | Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness, and let thy saints shout for joy. |
| 10. | For thy servant David`s sake, turn not away the face of thine anointed. |
| 11. | Jehovah hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it: Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne; |
| 12. | If thy children keep my covenant, and my testimonies which I will teach them, their children also for evermore shall sit upon thy throne. |
| 13. | For Jehovah hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his dwelling: |
| 14. | This is my rest for ever; here will I dwell, for I have desired it. |
| 15. | I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her needy ones with bread; |
| 16. | And I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints shall shout aloud for joy. |
| 17. | There will I cause the horn of David to bud forth; I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed. |
| 18. | His enemies will I clothe with shame; but upon himself shall his crown flourish. |
