New King James VersionNET Bible
1A Song of Ascents. LORD, remember David And all his afflictions;1A song of ascents. O LORD, for David's sake remember all his strenuous effort,
2How he swore to the LORD, And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:2and how he made a vow to the LORD, and swore an oath to the powerful ruler of Jacob.
3“Surely I will not go into the chamber of my house, Or go up to the comfort of my bed;3He said, "I will not enter my own home, or get into my bed.
4I will not give sleep to my eyes Or slumber to my eyelids,4I will not allow my eyes to sleep, or my eyelids to slumber,
5Until I find a place for the LORD, A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”5until I find a place for the LORD, a fine dwelling place for the powerful ruler of Jacob."
6Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah; We found it in the fields of the woods.6Look, we heard about it in Ephrathah, we found it in the territory of Jaar.
7Let us go into His tabernacle; Let us worship at His footstool.7Let us go to his dwelling place! Let us worship before his footstool!
8Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength.8Ascend, O LORD, 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 integrity! May your loyal followers shout for joy!
10For Your servant David’s sake, Do not turn away the face of Your Anointed.10For the sake of David, your servant, do not reject your chosen king!
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 a reliable promise to David; he will not go back on his word. He said, "I will place one of your descendants 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 the rules I teach them, their sons will also sit on your throne forever."
13For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His dwelling place:13Certainly the LORD has chosen Zion; he decided to make it his home.
14“This is My resting place forever; Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.14He said, "This will be my resting place forever; I will live here, for I have chosen it.
15I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her poor with bread.15I will abundantly supply what she needs; I will give her poor all the food they need.
16I will also clothe her priests with salvation, And her saints shall shout aloud for joy.16I will protect her priests, and her godly people will shout exuberantly.
17There I will make the horn of David grow; I will prepare a lamp for My Anointed.17There I will make David strong; I have determined that my chosen king's dynasty will continue.
18His enemies I will clothe with shame, But upon Himself His crown shall flourish.”18I will humiliate his enemies, and his crown will shine.
