1 Song of ascensions. Remember, O Jehovah, for David with all his affliction.
2 Who sware to Jehovah; he vowed 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;
4 If I shall give sleep to mine eyes, slumber to mine eye-lashes,
5 Even till I shall find a place for Jehovah, dwellings for the mighty one of Jacob.
6 Behold, we heard it in Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the forest
7 We will come in to his dwellings: we will worship at the footstool of his feet
8 Arise, O Jehovah, to thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.
9 Thy priests shall put on justice, and thy godly ones shall rejoice.
10 For sake of David thy servant thou wilt not turn away the face of thy Messiah.
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.
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.
13 For Jehovah chose in Zion; for he desired it for a dwelling to himself.
14 This my rest even forever: here I will dwell, for I desired it
15 Blessing I will bless her provision: I will fill her needy with bread.
16 And I will put upon her priests salvation, and her godly ones shall rejoice a rejoicing.
17 There will I cause the horn to David to spring up: I prepared a lamp for my Messiah.
18 I will put shame upon his enemies, and upon him shall his diadem flourish.
