1Adonai, remember David [Beloved] and all his affliction,

2how he swore to Adonai, and vowed to the 'Avir Ya'akov [Mighty One of Supplanter]:

3“Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, nor go up into my bed;

4I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids;

5until I find out a place for Adonai, a dwelling for the 'Avir Ya'akov [Mighty One of Supplanter].” ²⁵⁰

6Behold, we sh'ma ·heard obeyed· of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar:

7“We will go into his dwelling place. We will hawa ·bow low, prostrate· to worship at his footstool.

8Arise, Adonai, into your resting place; you, and the ark of your strength.

9Let your priest be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!”

10For your servant David [Beloved]’s sake, don’t turn away the face of your anointed one.

11Adonai has sworn to David [Beloved] in truth. He will not turn from it:
“I will set the fruit of your body on your throne. ²⁵¹

12If your children will keep my covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties·, my testimony that I will teach them,
their children ²⁵²also will sit on your throne forever more.”

13For Adonai has chosen Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking]. He has desired it for his habitation.

14“This is my resting place forever. Here I will live, for I have desired it.

15I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread.

16Her priests I will also clothe with yesha' ·salvation·. Her saints will shout aloud for joy.

17²⁵³There I will make the horn of David [Beloved] to bud. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.

18I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will be resplendent.”
