1LORD, remember David and all the hardships he endured,1A song of ascents. O LORD, for David's sake remember all his strenuous effort,
2and how he swore an oath to the LORD, making a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:2and how he made a vow to the LORD, and swore an oath to the powerful ruler of Jacob.
3"I will not enter my house or get into my bed,3He said, "I will not enter my own home, or get into my bed.
4I will not allow my eyes to sleep or my eyelids to slumber4I will not allow my eyes to sleep, or my eyelids to slumber,
5until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob."5until I find a place for the LORD, a fine dwelling place for the powerful ruler of Jacob."
6We heard of the ark in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.6Look, we heard about it in Ephrathah, we found it in the territory of Jaar.
7Let us go to his dwelling place; let us worship at his footstool.7Let us go to his dwelling place! Let us worship before his footstool!
8Rise up, LORD, come to your resting place, you and your powerful ark.8Ascend, O LORD, to your resting place, you and the ark of your strength!
9May your priests be clothed with righteousness, and may your faithful people shout for joy.9May your priests be clothed with integrity! May your loyal followers shout for joy!
10For the sake of your servant David, do not reject your anointed one.10For the sake of David, your servant, do not reject your chosen king!
11The LORD swore an oath to David, a promise he will not abandon: "I will set one of your offspring on your throne.11The LORD made a reliable promise to David; he will not go back on his word. He said, "I will place one of your descendants on your throne.
12If your sons keep my covenant and my decrees that I will teach them, their sons will also sit on your throne forever."12If your sons keep my covenant and the rules I teach them, their sons will also sit on your throne forever."
13For the LORD has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his home:13Certainly the LORD has chosen Zion; he decided to make it his home.
14"This is my resting place forever; I will make my home here because I have desired it.14He said, "This will be my resting place forever; I will live here, for I have chosen it.
15I will abundantly bless its food; I will satisfy its needy with bread.15I will abundantly supply what she needs; I will give her poor all the food they need.
16I will clothe its priests with salvation, and its faithful people will shout for joy.16I will protect her priests, and her godly people will shout exuberantly.
17There I will make a horn grow for David; I have prepared a lamp for my anointed one.17There I will make David strong; I have determined that my chosen king's dynasty will continue.
18I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown he wears will be glorious."18I will humiliate his enemies, and his crown will shine.
