2how he swore an oath to the LORD, vowing to the Mighty One of Jacob, | 2how he swore an oath to the LORD, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob: |
3"I will not enter my house, or lie down on my bed, | 3“I will not enter my house or get into my bed, |
4or let myself go to sleep or even take a nap, | 4I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids, |
5until I locate a place for the LORD, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob." | 5until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.” |

8Arise, LORD, and go to your resting place, you and the ark of your strength. | 8Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength. |
9May your priests be clothed with righteousness and may your godly ones shout for joy. | 9May Your priests be clothed with righteousness, and Your saints shout for joy. |
10For the sake of your servant David, don't turn away the face of your anointed one. | 10For the sake of Your servant David, do not reject Your anointed one. |
11The LORD made an oath to David from which he will not retreat: "One of your sons I will set in place on your throne. | 11The LORD swore an oath to David, a promise He will not revoke: “One of your descendants I will place on your throne. |
12If your sons keep my covenant and my statutes that I will teach them, then their sons will also sit on your throne forever." | 12If your sons keep My covenant and the testimony I will teach them, then their sons will also sit on your throne forever and ever.” |
13For the LORD has chosen Zion, desiring it as his dwelling place. | 13For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His home: |
14"This is my resting place forever. Here I will live, because I desire to do so. | 14“This is My resting place forever and ever; here I will dwell, for I have desired this home. |
15I will bless its provisions abundantly; I will satiate its poor with food. | 15I will bless her with abundant provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread. |

18I will clothe his enemies with disgrace, but on him his crown will shine." | 18I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown upon him will gleam.” |
