1LORD, remember in David's favor all of his troubles;1A Song of Ascents. Remember, O LORD, on David's behalf, All his affliction;
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"Surely I will not enter my house, Nor lie on 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 field of Jaar.

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.9Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness, And let Your godly ones sing for joy.
10For the sake of your servant David, don't turn away the face of your anointed one.10For the sake of David Your servant, Do not turn away the face of Your anointed.
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 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.
12If your sons keep my covenant and my statutes that I will teach them, then their sons will also sit on your throne forever."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."
13For the LORD has chosen Zion, desiring it as his dwelling place.13For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His habitation.
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. 15"I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her needy with bread.
16I will clothe its priests with salvation and its godly ones will shout for joy.16"Her priests also I will clothe with salvation, And her godly ones will sing aloud for joy.
17There I will create a power base for David— I have prepared a lamp for my anointed one.17"There I will cause the horn of David to spring forth; I have prepared a lamp for Mine anointed.
18I will clothe his enemies with disgrace, but on him his crown will shine."18"His enemies I will clothe with shame, But upon himself his crown shall shine."
