A song of ascents.
O ETERNAL One, remember in David’s favor
his extreme self-denial, how he swore to GOD,
vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob, “I will not enter my house,
nor will I mount my bed, I will not give sleep to my eyes,
or slumber to my eyelidsaeyelids Lit. “eyes.” until I find a place for GOD,
an abode for the Mighty One of Jacob.” We heard it was in Ephrath;
we came upon it in the region of Jaar.bregion of Jaar Cf. 1 Sam. 7.1–2; 1 Chron. 13.5–6. Let us enter God’s abode,
bow at the divine footstool. Advance, O ETERNAL One, to Your resting-place,
You and Your mighty Ark! Your priests are clothed in triumph;
Your loyal ones sing for joy. For the sake of Your servant David
do not reject Your anointed one. GOD swore to David
a firm oath that will not be renounced,
“One of your own issue I will set upon your throne. If your sons keep My covenant
and My decrees that I teach them,
then their sons also,
to the end of time,
shall sit upon your throne.” For GOD has chosen Zion,
desiring it for a seat. “This is my resting-place for all time;
here I will dwell, for I desire it. I will amply bless its store of food,
give its needy their fill of bread. I will clothe its priests in victory,
its loyal ones shall sing for joy. There I will make a horn sprout for David;
I have prepared a lamp for My anointed one. I will clothe his enemies in disgrace,
while on him his crown shall sparkle.”
