Holman Christian Standard BibleNew International Version
1A song of ascents. LORD, remember David and all the hardships he endured, 1A song of ascents. LORD, remember David and all his self-denial.
2and how he swore an oath to the LORD, making a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:" 2He swore an oath to the LORD, he made a vow 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 go to my bed,
4I will not allow my eyes to sleep or my eyelids to slumber 4I will allow no 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." 5till I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob."
6We heard of the ark in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar. 6We heard it in Ephrathah, we came upon 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, saying,
8Rise up, LORD, come to Your resting place, You and Your powerful ark. 8Arise, LORD, and come 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. 9May your priests be clothed with your righteousness; may your faithful people sing for joy.'"
10Because of Your servant David, do not reject Your anointed one. 10For the sake of your servant David, do not reject 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 an oath to David, a sure oath he will not revoke: "One of your own descendants I will place 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 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 home:" 13For the LORD has chosen Zion, he has desired it for his dwelling, saying,
14This is My resting place forever; I will make My home here because I have desired it. 14"This is my resting place for ever and ever; here I will sit enthroned, for I have desired it.
15I will abundantly bless its food; I will satisfy its needy with bread. 15I will bless her with abundant provisions; her poor I will satisfy with food.
16I will clothe its priests with salvation, and its godly people will shout for joy. 16I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her faithful people will ever sing for joy.
17There I will make a horn grow for David; I have prepared a lamp for My anointed one. 17"Here I will make a horn grow for David and set up a lamp for my anointed one.
18I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown he wears will be glorious." 18I will clothe his enemies with shame, but his head will be adorned with a radiant crown."
