^{1 Ref} <A Song of the going up.> Lord, give thought to David, and to all his troubles;

^{2 Ref} How he made an oath to the Lord, and gave his word to the great God of Jacob, saying,

^{3 Ref} Truly, I will not come into my house, or go to my bed,

^{4 Ref} I will not give sleep to my eyes, or rest to my eyeballs,

^{5 Ref} Till I have got a place for the Lord, a resting-place for the great God of Jacob.

^{6 Ref} We had news of it at Ephrathah: we came to it in the fields of the wood.

^{7 Ref} Let us go into his tent; let us give worship at his feet.

^{8 Ref} Come back, O Lord, to your resting-place; you and the ark of your strength.

^{9 Ref} Let your priests be clothed with righteousness; and let your saints give cries of joy.

^{10 Ref} Because of your servant David, do not give up your king.

^{11 Ref} The Lord gave a true oath to David, which he will not take back, saying, I will give your kingdom to the fruit of your body.

^{12 Ref} If your children keep my word, and the teachings which I will give them, their children will be rulers of your kingdom for ever.

^{13 Ref} For the Lord's heart is on Zion, desiring it for his resting-place.

^{14 Ref} This is my rest for ever: here will I ever be; for this is my desire.

^{15 Ref} My blessing will be on her food; and her poor will be full of bread.

^{16 Ref} Her priests will be clothed with salvation; and her saints will give cries of joy.

^{17 Ref} There I will make the horn of David fertile: I have made ready a light for my king.

^{18 Ref} His haters will be clothed with shame; but I will make his crown shining.

^{1 Ref} > Yahweh, remember David and all his affliction,

^{2 Ref} How he swore to Yahweh, And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

^{3 Ref} "Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, Nor go up into my bed;

^{4 Ref} I will not give sleep to my eyes, Or slumber to my eyelids;

^{5 Ref} Until I find out a place for Yahweh, A dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob."

^{6 Ref} Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar:

^{7 Ref} "We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at his footstool.

^{8 Ref} Arise, Yahweh, into your resting place; You, and the ark of your strength.

^{9 Ref} Let your priest be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!"

^{10 Ref} For your servant David's sake, Don't turn away the face of your anointed one.

^{11 Ref} 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 Ref} If your children will keep my covenant, My testimony that I will teach them, Their children also will sit on your throne forevermore."

^{13 Ref} For Yahweh has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation.

^{14 Ref} "This is my resting place forever. Here I will live, for I have desired it.

^{15 Ref} I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread.

^{16 Ref} Her priests I will also clothe with salvation. Her saints will shout aloud for joy.

^{17 Ref} There I will make the horn of David to bud. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.

^{18 Ref} I will clothe his enemies with shame, But on himself, his crown will be resplendant."

^{1 Ref} Jehovah, remember for David All his affliction;

^{2 Ref} How he sware unto Jehovah, And vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob:

^{3 Ref} Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, Nor go up into my bed;

^{4 Ref} I will not give sleep to mine eyes, Or slumber to mine eyelids;

^{5 Ref} Until I find out a place for Jehovah, A tabernacle for the Mighty One of Jacob.

^{6 Ref} Lo, we heard of it in Ephrathah: We found it in the field of the wood.

^{7 Ref} We will go into his tabernacles; We will worship at his footstool.

^{8 Ref} Arise, O Jehovah, into thy resting-place; Thou, and the ark of thy strength.

^{9 Ref} Let thy priest be clothed with righteousness; And let thy saints shout for joy.

^{10 Ref} For thy servant David's sake Turn not away the face of thine anointed.

^{11 Ref} Jehovah 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 Ref} 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 Ref} For Jehovah hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it for his habitation.

^{14 Ref} This is my resting-place for ever: Here will I dwell; for I have desired it.

^{15 Ref} I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.

^{16 Ref} Her priests also will I clothe with salvation; And her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

^{17 Ref} There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.

^{18 Ref} His enemies will I clothe with shame; But upon himself shall his crown flourish. Psalm 133 A Song of Ascents; of David.
