1 | שִׁ֗יר הַֽמַּ֫עֲל֥וֹת זְכוֹר־יְהֹוָ֥ה לְדָוִ֑ד אֵ֝֗ת כׇּל־עֻנּוֹתֽוֹ׃ | A Song of Ascents. LORD, remember unto David All his affliction; |
2 | אֲשֶׁ֣ר נִ֭שְׁבַּע לַֽיהֹוָ֑ה נָ֝דַ֗ר לַאֲבִ֥יר יַעֲקֹֽב׃ | How he swore unto the LORD, And vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob: |
3 | אִם־אָ֭בֹא בְּאֹ֣הֶל בֵּיתִ֑י אִם־אֶ֝עֱלֶ֗ה עַל־עֶ֥רֶשׂ יְצוּעָֽי׃ | ‘Surely I will not come into the tent of my house, Nor go up into the bed that is spread for me; |
4 | אִם־אֶתֵּ֣ן שְׁנַ֣ת לְעֵינָ֑י לְֽעַפְעַפַּ֥י תְּנוּמָֽה׃ | I will not give sleep to mine eyes, Nor slumber to mine eyelids; |
5 | עַד־אֶמְצָ֣א מָ֭קוֹם לַיהֹוָ֑ה מִ֝שְׁכָּנ֗וֹת לַאֲבִ֥יר יַעֲקֹֽב׃ | Until I find out a place for the LORD, A dwelling-place for the Mighty One of Jacob.' |
6 | הִנֵּֽה־שְׁמַעֲנ֥וּהָ בְאֶפְרָ֑תָה מְ֝צָאנ֗וּהָ בִּשְׂדֵי־יָֽעַר׃ | Lo, we heard of it as being in Ephrath; We found it in the field of athe wood. |
7 | נָב֥וֹאָה לְמִשְׁכְּנוֹתָ֑יו נִ֝שְׁתַּחֲוֶ֗ה לַהֲדֹ֥ם רַגְלָֽיו׃ | Let us go into His dwelling-place; Let us worship at His footstool. . |
8 | קוּמָ֣ה יְ֭הֹוָה לִמְנוּחָתֶ֑ךָ אַ֝תָּ֗ה וַאֲר֥וֹן עֻזֶּֽךָ׃ | Arise, O LORD, unto Thy resting-place; Thou, and the ark of Thy strength. |
9 | כֹּהֲנֶ֥יךָ יִלְבְּשׁוּ־צֶ֑דֶק וַחֲסִידֶ֥יךָ יְרַנֵּֽנוּ׃ | Let Thy priests be clothed with righteousness; And let Thy saints shout for joy. |
10 | בַּֽ֭עֲבוּר דָּוִ֣ד עַבְדֶּ֑ךָ אַל־תָּ֝שֵׁ֗ב פְּנֵ֣י מְשִׁיחֶֽךָ׃ | For Thy servant David's sake Turn not away the face of Thine anointed. |
11 | נִשְׁבַּֽע־יְהֹוָ֨ה ׀ לְדָוִ֡ד אֱמֶת֮ לֹא־יָשׁ֢וּב מִ֫מֶּ֥נָּה מִפְּרִ֥י בִטְנְךָ֑ אָ֝שִׁ֗ית לְכִסֵּא־לָֽךְ׃ | The LORD swore unto David in truth; He will not turn back from it: 'Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne. |
12 | אִֽם־יִשְׁמְר֬וּ בָנֶ֨יךָ ׀ בְּרִיתִי֮ וְעֵדֹתִ֥י ז֗וֹ אֲלַ֫מְּדֵ֥ם גַּם־בְּנֵיהֶ֥ם עֲדֵי־עַ֑ד יֵ֝שְׁב֗וּ לְכִסֵּא־לָֽךְ׃ | If thy children keep My covenant And My testimony that I shall teach them, Their children also for ever shall sit upon thy throne.' |
13 | כִּי־בָחַ֣ר יְהֹוָ֣ה בְּצִיּ֑וֹן אִ֝וָּ֗הּ לְמוֹשָׁ֥ב לֽוֹ׃ | For the LORD hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it for His habitation: |
14 | זֹאת־מְנוּחָתִ֥י עֲדֵי־עַ֑ד פֹּה־אֵ֝שֵׁ֗ב כִּ֣י אִוִּתִֽיהָ׃ | 'This is My resting-place for ever; Here will I dwell; for I have desired it. |
15 | צֵ֭ידָהּ בָּרֵ֣ךְ אֲבָרֵ֑ךְ אֶ֝בְיוֹנֶ֗יהָ אַשְׂבִּ֥יעַֽ לָֽחֶם׃ | I will abundantly bless her provision; I will give her needy bread in plenty. |
16 | וְֽ֭כֹהֲנֶיהָ אַלְבִּ֣ישׁ יֶ֑שַׁע וַ֝חֲסִידֶ֗יהָ רַנֵּ֥ן יְרַנֵּֽנוּ׃ | Her priests also will I clothe with salvation; And her saints shall shout aloud for joy. |
17 | שָׁ֤ם אַצְמִ֣יחַ קֶ֣רֶן לְדָוִ֑ד עָרַ֥כְתִּי נֵ֝֗ר לִמְשִׁיחִֽי׃ | There will I make a horn to shoot up unto David, There have I ordered a lamp for Mine anointed. |
18 | א֭וֹיְבָיו אַלְבִּ֣ישׁ בֹּ֑שֶׁת וְ֝עָלָ֗יו יָצִ֥יץ נִזְרֽוֹ׃ | His enemies will I clothe with shame; But upon himself shall his crown shine.' |

- LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions:
- How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;
- Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;
- I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,
- Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.
- Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.
- We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.
- Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.
- Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.
- For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.
- The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
- If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.
- For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.
- This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
- I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.
- I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
- There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.
- His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
