Holman Christian Standard BibleEnglish Standard Version
1A song of ascents. LORD, remember David and all the hardships he endured, 1Remember, O LORD, in David’s favor, all the hardships he endured,
2and how he swore an oath to the LORD, making a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:" 2how he swore to the LORD and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob,
3I will not enter my house or get into my bed, 3“I will not enter my house or get into my bed,
4I will not allow my eyes to sleep or my eyelids to slumber 4I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,
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 dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
6We heard of the ark in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar. 6Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.
7Let us go to His dwelling place; let us worship at His footstool. 7“Let us go to his dwelling place; let us worship at his footstool!”
8Rise up, LORD, come to Your resting place, You and Your powerful ark. 8Arise, O LORD, and go to your resting place, you and the ark of your might.
9May Your priests be clothed with righteousness, and may Your godly people shout for joy. 9Let your priests be clothed with righteousness, and let your saints shout for joy.
10Because of Your servant David, do not reject Your anointed one. 10For the sake of your servant David, do not turn away the face of your anointed one.
11The LORD swore an oath to David, a promise He will not abandon:" I will set one of your descendants on your throne. 11The LORD swore to David a sure oath from which he will not turn back: “One of the sons of your body I will set 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 my testimonies that I shall teach them, their sons also forever shall sit on your throne.”
13For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His home:" 13For the LORD has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his dwelling place:
14This is My resting place forever; I will make My home here because I have desired it. 14“This is my resting place forever; here I will dwell, for I have desired it.
15I will abundantly bless its food; I will satisfy its needy with bread. 15I will abundantly bless her provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16I will clothe its priests with salvation, and its godly people will shout for joy. 16Her priests I will clothe with salvation, and her saints will shout for joy.
17There I will make a horn grow for David; I have prepared a lamp for My anointed one. 17There I will make a horn to sprout for David; I have prepared a lamp for my anointed.
18I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown he wears will be glorious." 18His enemies I will clothe with shame, but on him his crown will shine.”
