Yahweh, remember David and all his affliction,
|
| 2 |
how he swore to Yahweh, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
|
| 3 |
“Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, nor go up into my bed;
|
| 4 |
I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids,
|
| 5 |
until I find out a place for Yahweh, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
|
| 6 |
Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar.
|
| 7 |
“We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at his footstool.”
|
| 8 |
Arise, Yahweh, into your resting place, you, and the ark of your strength.
|
| 9 |
Let your priests be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!
|
| 10 |
For your servant David’s sake, don’t turn away the face of your anointed one.
|
| 11 |
Yahweh has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: “I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.
|
| 12 |
If your children will keep my covenant, my testimony that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forever more.”
|
| 13 |
For Yahweh has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation.
|
| 14 |
“This is my resting place forever. I will live here, for I have desired it.
|
| 15 |
I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread.
|
| 16 |
I will also clothe her priests with salvation. Her saints will shout aloud for joy.
|
| 17 |
I will make the horn of David to bud there. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.
|
| 18 |
I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will shine.”
