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