| 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 resplendant.' Psalm 133 A Song of Ascents. By David. |
