1A Song of Ascents. Remember, O Lord, in David’s favor, all the hardships he endured, (代上22:14; 诗120:1)2how he swore to the Lord and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob, (创49:24; 诗50:14; 诗132:5; 赛49:26; 赛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, (箴6:4)5until I find a place for the Lord, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.” (代上22:7; 诗132:2; 徒7:46)6Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar. (创35:19; 撒上7:1; 撒上17:12)7“Let us go to his dwelling place; let us worship at his footstool!” (诗5:7; 诗99:5)8Arise, O Lord, and go to your resting place, you and the ark of your might. (代下6:41; 诗68:1; 诗78:61; 诗132:14)9Let your priests be clothed with righteousness, and let your saints shout for joy. (伯29:14; 诗132:16; 诗149:5)10For the sake of your servant David, do not turn away the face of your anointed one. (王上1:39; 王下18:24; 诗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. (撒下7:12; 代下6:16; 诗89:3; 诗89:34; 诗110:4; 路1:32; 徒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.” (王上8:25; 伯36:7)13For the Lord has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his dwelling place: (诗68:16; 诗78:68; 诗135:21)14“This is my resting place forever; here I will dwell, for I have desired it. (诗132:8; 太23:21)15I will abundantly bless her provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread. (得1:6; 诗147:14)16Her priests I will clothe with salvation, and her saints will shout for joy. (诗132:9)17There I will make a horn to sprout for David; I have prepared a lamp for my anointed. (王上11:36; 王上15:4; 王下8:19; 代下21:7; 诗132:10; 结29:21; 路1:69)18His enemies I will clothe with shame, but on him his crown will shine.” (伯8:22)
