A Song of Ascents. |
1
|
YAHUVEH, remember for David All his affliction; |
2
|
How he sware unto YAHUVEH, And vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob: |
3
|
Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, Nor go up into
my bed; |
4
|
I will not give sleep to mine eyes, Or slumber to mine eyelids; |
5
|
Until I find out a place for YAHUVEH, A tabernacle for the Mighty One of
Jacob. |
6
|
Lo, we heard of it in Ephrathah: We found it in the field of the wood. |
7
|
We will go into his tabernacles; We will worship at his footstool. |
8
|
Arise, O YAHUVEH, into thy resting-place; Thou, and the ark of thy
strength. |
9
|
Let thy priest be clothed with righteousness; And let thy saints shout
for joy. |
10
|
For thy servant David's sake Turn not away the face of thine anointed. |
11
|
YAHUVEH hath sworn unto David in truth; He will not turn from it: Of the
fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne. |
12
|
If thy children will keep my covenant And my testimony that I shall
teach them, Their children also shall sit upon thy throne for evermore. |
13
|
For YAHUVEH hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it for his habitation. |
14
|
This is my resting-place for ever: Here will I dwell; for I have desired
it. |
15
|
I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with
bread. |
16
|
Her priests also will I clothe with salvation; And her saints shall
shout aloud for joy. |
17
|
There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for
mine anointed. |
18
|
His enemies will I clothe with shame; But upon himself shall his crown
flourish. |
