1LORD, remember in David's favor all of his troubles;1Remember, O LORD, in David’s favor, all the hardships he endured,
2how he swore an oath to the LORD, vowing to the Mighty One of Jacob,2how he swore 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 place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
6We heard about it in Ephrata; we found it in the fields of Jaar. 6Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.
7Let's go to his dwelling place and worship at his footstool.7“Let us go to his dwelling place; let us worship at his footstool!”
8Arise, LORD, and go to your resting place, you and the ark of your strength.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 ones shout for joy.9Let your priests be clothed with righteousness, and let 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 turn away the face of 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 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 statutes that I will teach them, then 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, desiring it as his dwelling place.13For the LORD has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his dwelling place:
14"This is my resting place forever. Here I will live, because I desire to do so.14“This is my resting place forever; here I will dwell, for I have desired it.
15I will bless its provisions abundantly; I will satiate its poor with food. 15I will abundantly bless her provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16I will clothe its priests with salvation and its godly ones will shout for joy.16Her priests I will clothe with salvation, and her saints will shout for joy.
17There I will create a power base 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 disgrace, but on him his crown will shine."18His enemies I will clothe with shame, but on him his crown will shine.”
