[A song of ascents.] O LORD, for David's sake remember all his strenuous effort, |
2
|
and how he made a vow to the LORD, and swore an oath to the powerful ruler of Jacob. |
3
|
He said, "I will not enter my own home, or get into my bed. |
4
|
I will not allow my eyes to sleep, or my eyelids to slumber, |
5
|
until I find a place for the LORD, a fine dwelling place for the powerful ruler of Jacob." |
6
|
Look, we heard about it in Ephrathah, we found it in the territory of Jaar. |
7
|
Let us go to his dwelling place! Let us worship before his footstool! |
8
|
Ascend, O LORD, to your resting place, you and the ark of your strength! |
9
|
May your priests be clothed with integrity! May your loyal followers shout for joy! |
10
|
For the sake of David, your servant, do not reject your chosen king! |
11
|
The 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. |
12
|
If your sons keep my covenant and the rules I teach them, their sons will also sit on your throne forever." |
13
|
Certainly the LORD has chosen Zion; he decided to make it his home. |
14
|
He said, "This will be my resting place forever; I will live here, for I have chosen it. |
15
|
I will abundantly supply what she needs; I will give her poor all the food they need. |
16
|
I will protect her priests, and her godly people will shout exuberantly. |
17
|
There I will make David strong; I have determined that my chosen king's dynasty will continue. |
18
|
I will humiliate his enemies, and his crown will shine. |
