1Колко хубаво и колко приятно е братя да живеят наедно! (Мк 9:5; Сир 25:2)2Го е като драгоценен елей върху глава, който се стича по брада, брадата Ааронова, който се стича по краищата на одеждата му; (Изх 29:7; Лев 8:12)3като роса ермонска, която пада на планините Сионски, защото там Господ изрече благоволение и живот навеки. (Вт 3:8; П П 4:8)
1A Song of Ascents. Remember, O Lord, in David’s favor, all the hardships he endured, (1 Лет 22:14; Пс 120:1)2how he swore to the Lord and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob, (Бит 49:24; Пс 50:14; Пс 132:5; Ис 49:26; Ис 60:16)3“I will not enter my house or get into my bed,4I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids, (Пр 6:4)5until I find a place for the Lord, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.” (1 Лет 22:7; Пс 132:2; Д А 7:46)6Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar. (Бит 35:19; 1 Цар 7:1; 1 Цар 17:12)7“Let us go to his dwelling place; let us worship at his footstool!” (Пс 5:7; Пс 99:5)8Arise, O Lord, and go to your resting place, you and the ark of your might. (2 Лет 6:41; Пс 68:1; Пс 78:61; Пс 132:14)9Let your priests be clothed with righteousness, and let your saints shout for joy. (Йов 29:14; Пс 132:16; Пс 149:5)10For the sake of your servant David, do not turn away the face of your anointed one. (3 Цар 1:39; 4 Цар 18:24; Пс 132:17)11The Lord swore to David a sure oath from which he will not turn back: “One of the sons of your body[1] I will set on your throne. (2 Цар 7:12; 2 Лет 6:16; Пс 89:3; Пс 89:34; Пс 110:4; Лк 1:32; Д А 2:30)12If your sons keep my covenant and my testimonies that I shall teach them, their sons also forever shall sit on your throne.” (3 Цар 8:25; Йов 36:7)13For the Lord has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his dwelling place: (Пс 68:16; Пс 78:68; Пс 135:21)14“This is my resting place forever; here I will dwell, for I have desired it. (Пс 132:8; Мт 23:21)15I will abundantly bless her provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread. (Рут 1:6; Пс 147:14)16Her priests I will clothe with salvation, and her saints will shout for joy. (Пс 132:9)17There I will make a horn to sprout for David; I have prepared a lamp for my anointed. (3 Цар 11:36; 3 Цар 15:4; 4 Цар 8:19; 2 Лет 21:7; Пс 132:10; Ез 29:21; Лк 1:69)18His enemies I will clothe with shame, but on him his crown will shine.” (Йов 8:22)
