New King James Version | International Standard Version |
1A Song of Ascents. LORD, remember David And all his afflictions; | 1LORD, remember in David's favor all of his troubles; |
2How he swore to the LORD, And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob: | 2how he swore an oath to the LORD, vowing to the Mighty One of Jacob, |
3“Surely I will not go into the chamber of my house, Or go up to the comfort of my bed; | 3"I will not enter my house, or lie down on my bed, |
4I will not give sleep to my eyes Or slumber to my eyelids, | 4or let myself go to sleep or even take a nap, |
5Until I find a place for the LORD, A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.” | 5until I locate a place for the LORD, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob." |
6Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah; We found it in the fields of the woods. | 6We heard about it in Ephrata; we found it in the fields of Jaar. |
7Let us go into His tabernacle; Let us worship at His footstool. | 7Let's go to his dwelling place and worship at his footstool. |
8Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength. | 8Arise, LORD, and go to your resting place, you and the ark of your strength. |
9Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness, And let Your saints shout for joy. | 9May your priests be clothed with righteousness and may your godly ones shout for joy. |
10For Your servant David’s sake, Do not turn away the face of Your Anointed. | 10For the sake of your servant David, don't turn away the face of your anointed one. |
11The LORD has sworn in truth to David; He will not turn from it: “I will set upon your throne the fruit of your body. | 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 your sons will keep My covenant And My testimony which I shall teach them, Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forevermore.” | 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 has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His dwelling place: | 13For the LORD has chosen Zion, desiring it as his dwelling place. |
14“This is My resting place forever; Here I will 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 I will make the horn of David grow; I will prepare a lamp for My Anointed. | 17There I will create a power base for David— I have prepared a lamp for my anointed one. |
18His enemies I will clothe with shame, But upon Himself His crown shall flourish.” | 18I will clothe his enemies with disgrace, but on him his crown will shine." |
