Psalms

¹ A Song of Ascents. Remember, O Yahweh, on David’s behalf, All his affliction;

² And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob,

³ Nor lie in the comfort of my bed;

⁴ Or slumber to my eyelids,

⁵ A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

⁶ We found it in the fields of Jaar.

⁷ Let us worship at the footstool of His feet.

⁸ You and the ark of Your strength.

⁹ And let Your holy ones sing for joy.

¹⁰ Do not turn away the face of Your anointed.

¹¹ A truth from which He will not turn back: “Of the fruit of your body I will set upon your throne.

¹² And My testimony which I will teach them, Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forever.”

¹³ He has desired it for His habitation.

¹⁴ Here I will inhabit, for I have desired it.

¹⁵ I will satisfy her needy with bread.

¹⁶ And her holy ones will sing loudly for joy.

¹⁷ I have prepared a lamp for Mine anointed.

¹⁸ But upon him, his crown shall blossom.”
