KJV Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
King James BibleInternational Standard Version
1A Song of degrees. LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions:1LORD, remember in David's favor all of his troubles;
2How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;2how he swore an oath to the LORD, vowing to the Mighty One of Jacob,
3Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;3"I will not enter my house, or lie down on my bed,
4I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,4or let myself go to sleep or even take a nap,
5Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.5until I locate a place for the LORD, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob."
6Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.6We heard about it in Ephrata; we found it in the fields of Jaar.
7We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.7Let's go to his dwelling place and worship at his footstool.
8Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.8Arise, LORD, and go to your resting place, you and the ark of your strength.
9Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.9May your priests be clothed with righteousness and may your godly ones shout for joy.
10For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.10For the sake of your servant David, don't turn away the face of your anointed one.
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.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.
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.12If your sons keep my covenant and my statutes that I will teach them, then their sons will also sit on your throne forever."
13For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.13For the LORD has chosen Zion, desiring it as his dwelling place.
14This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.14"This is my resting place forever. Here I will live, because I desire to do so.
15I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.15I will bless its provisions abundantly; I will satiate its poor with food.
16I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.16I will clothe its priests with salvation and its godly ones will shout for joy.
17There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.17There I will create a power base for David— I have prepared a lamp for my anointed one.
18His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.18I will clothe his enemies with disgrace, but on him his crown will shine."
