¹ 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 priest 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 forevermore."

¹³ For Yahweh has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation.

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

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

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

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

¹⁸ I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will be resplendent." A Song of Ascents. By David.

¹ See how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity!

² It is like the precious oil on the head, that ran down on the beard, even Aaron's beard; that came down on the edge of his robes;

³ like the dew of Hermon, that comes down on the hills of Zion: for there Yahweh gives the blessing, even life forevermore. A Song of Ascents.

¹ Look! Praise Yahweh, all you servants of Yahweh, who stand by night in Yahweh's house!

² Lift up your hands in the sanctuary. Praise Yahweh!

³ May Yahweh bless you from Zion; even he who made heaven and earth.

¹ Praise Yah! Praise the name of Yahweh! Praise him, you servants of Yahweh,

² you who stand in the house of Yahweh, in the courts of our God's house.

³ Praise Yah, for Yahweh is good. Sing praises to his name, for that is pleasant.

⁴ For Yah has chosen Jacob for himself; Israel for his own possession.

⁵ For I know that Yahweh is great, that our Lord is above all gods.

⁶ Whatever Yahweh pleased, that he has done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps;

⁷ who causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth; who makes lightnings with the rain; who brings forth the wind out of his treasuries;

⁸ Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and animal;

⁹ Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his servants;

¹⁰ who struck many nations, and killed mighty kings,

¹¹ Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan,

¹² and gave their land for a heritage, a heritage to Israel, his people.

¹³ Your name, Yahweh, endures forever; your renown, Yahweh, throughout all generations.

¹⁴ For Yahweh will judge his people, and have compassion on his servants.
