1 - A Song of the Ascents. Remember, Jehovah, for David, all his afflictions.

2 - Who hath sworn to Jehovah. He hath vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

3 - `If I enter into the tent of my house, If I go up on the couch of my bed,

4 - If I give sleep to mine eyes, To mine eyelids--slumber,

5 - Till I do find a place for Jehovah, Tabernacles for the Mighty One of Jacob.

6 - `Lo, we have heard it in Ephratah, We have found it in the fields of the forest.

7 - We come in to His tabernacles, We bow ourselves at His footstool.

8 - Arise, O Jehovah, to Thy rest, Thou, and the ark of Thy strength,

9 - Thy priests do put on righteousness, And Thy pious ones cry aloud.

10 - For the sake of David Thy servant, Turn not back the face of Thine anointed.

11 - Jehovah hath sworn truth to David, He turneth not back from it: Of the fruit of thy body, I set on the throne for thee.

12 - If thy sons keep My covenant, And My testimonies that I teach them, Their sons also for ever and ever, Do sit on the throne for thee.

13 - For Jehovah hath fixed on Zion, He hath desired <FI>it<Fi> for a seat to Himself,

14 - This <FI>is<Fi> My rest for ever and ever, Here do I sit, for I have desired it.

15 - Her provision I greatly bless, Her needy ones I satisfy <FI>with<Fi> bread,

16 - And her priests I clothe <FI>with<Fi> salvation, And her pious ones do sing aloud.

17 - There I cause to spring up a horn for David, I have arranged a lamp for Mine anointed.

18 - His enemies I do clothe <FI>with<Fi> shame, And upon him doth his crown flourish!
