1A song of ascents. LORD, remember David and all his self-denial.1A Song of degrees. LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions:
2He swore an oath to the LORD, he made a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:2How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;
3"I will not enter my house or go to my bed,3Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;
4I will allow no sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,4I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,
5till I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob."5Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.
6We heard it in Ephrathah, we came upon it in the fields of Jaar:6Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.
7"Let us go to his dwelling place, let us worship at his footstool, saying,7We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.
8Arise, LORD, and come to your resting place, you and the ark of your might.8Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.
9May your priests be clothed with your righteousness; may your faithful people sing for joy.'"9Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.
10For the sake of your servant David, do not reject your anointed one.10For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.
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.11The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
12If your sons keep my covenant and the statutes I teach them, then their sons will sit on your throne for ever and ever."12If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.
13For the LORD has chosen Zion, he has desired it for his dwelling, saying,13For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.
14"This is my resting place for ever and ever; here I will sit enthroned, for I have desired it.14This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
15I will bless her with abundant provisions; her poor I will satisfy with food.15I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her faithful people will ever sing for joy.16I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
17"Here I will make a horn grow for David and set up a lamp for my anointed one.17There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.
18I will clothe his enemies with shame, but his head will be adorned with a radiant crown."18His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
