| 2How he swore to the LORD And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob, | 2He swore an oath to the LORD, he made a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob: |
| 3"Surely I will not enter my house, Nor lie on my bed; | 3"I will not enter my house or go to my bed, |
| 4I will not give sleep to my eyes Or slumber to my eyelids, | 4I will allow no sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids, |
| 5Until I find a place for the LORD, A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob." | 5till I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob." |
| 6Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah, We found it in the field of Jaar. | 6We heard it in Ephrathah, we came upon it in the fields of Jaar: |
| 7Let us go into His dwelling place; Let us worship at His footstool. | 7"Let us go to his dwelling place, let us worship at his footstool, saying, |
| 8Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength. | 8Arise, LORD, and come to your resting place, you and the ark of your might. |
| 9Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness, And let Your godly ones sing for joy. | 9May your priests be clothed with your righteousness; may your faithful people sing for joy.'" |
| 10For the sake of David Your servant, Do not turn away the face of Your anointed. | 10For the sake of your servant David, do not reject your anointed one. |
| 11The LORD has sworn to David A truth from which He will not turn back: "Of the fruit of your body I will set upon your throne. | 11The LORD swore an oath to David, a sure oath he will not revoke: "One of your own descendants I will place on your throne. |
| 12"If your sons will keep My covenant And My testimony which I will teach them, Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forever." | 12If your sons keep my covenant and the statutes I teach them, then their sons will sit on your throne for ever and ever." |
| 13For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His habitation. | 13For the LORD has chosen Zion, he has desired it for his dwelling, saying, |
| 14"This is My resting place forever; Here I will dwell, for I have desired it. | 14"This is my resting place for ever and ever; here I will sit enthroned, for I have desired it. |
| 15"I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her needy with bread. | 15I will bless her with abundant provisions; her poor I will satisfy with food. |
| 16"Her priests also I will clothe with salvation, And her godly ones will sing aloud for joy. | 16I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her faithful people will ever sing for joy. |
| 17"There I will cause the horn of David to spring forth; I have prepared a lamp for Mine anointed. | 17"Here I will make a horn grow for David and set up a lamp for my anointed one. |
| 18"His enemies I will clothe with shame, But upon himself his crown shall shine." | 18I will clothe his enemies with shame, but his head will be adorned with a radiant crown." |
