Hashem, remember Dovid, and all his afflictions;

2 How he swore unto Hashem,

and vowed unto Avir Ya'akov (the Mighty One of Ya'akov);

3 Surely I will not come into the ohel of my bais,

nor go up into my bed;

4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes,

nor tenumah (slumber) to mine eyelids,

5 Until I find a makom (place) for Hashem,

even mishkanot for the Avir Ya'akov.

6 Hinei, we heard of it at Ephratah;

we found it in the sedei Ya'ar (fields of Ya'ar).

7 We will go into His mishkanot;

we will worship at the hadom (footstool) of His raglayim.

8 Arise, Hashem, into Thy menuchah (resting place);

Thou, and the Aron of Thy oz (might).

9 Let Thy Kohanim be clothed with tzedek;

and let Thy chasidim sing for joy.

10 For the sake of Dovid Thy Eved,

do not turn away the face of Thine Moshiach.*See Isa 52:13; 53:11

11 Hashem hath sworn in emes unto Dovid;

He will not turn from His oath:

Of the p'ri (fruit) of thy beten (body)

will I set upon thy kisse (throne).

12 If thy Banim are shomer over My Brit

and My Edot that I shall teach them,

their Banim shall also sit upon thy kisse adei-ad (forevermore).

13 For Hashem hath chosen Tziyon;

He hath desired her for His moshav.

14 This is My menuchah (resting place) adei-ad (forever);

here will I dwell; for I have desired her.

15 I will place a bountiful brocha on her provision;

I will satisfy her poor with lechem.

16 I will also clothe her Kohanim with Yesha (salvation);

and her chasidim shall sing aloud for joy.

17 There atzmi'ach (I will make sprout)†i.e., Tzemach the Keren of Dovid;

I have ordained a ner (lamp) for My Moshiach.

18 His oyevim will I clothe with boshet (shame);

but upon him‡Moshiach shall his nezer (crown) be resplendent.
