Adonai, remember David [Beloved] and all his affliction,
how he swore to Adonai, and vowed to the 'Avir Ya'akov [Mighty One of Supplanter]:
“Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, nor go up into my bed;
I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids;
until I find out a place for Adonai, a dwelling for the 'Avir Ya'akov [Mighty One of Supplanter].”
Behold, we sh'ma ·heard obeyed· of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar:
“We will go into his dwelling place. We will hawa ·bow low, prostrate· to worship at his footstool.
Arise, Adonai, into your resting place; you, and the ark of your strength.
Let your priest be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!”
For your servant David [Beloved]’s sake, don’t turn away the face of your anointed one.
Adonai has sworn to David [Beloved] in truth. He will not turn from it: “I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.
If your children will keep my covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties·, my testimony that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forever more.”
For Adonai has chosen Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking]. He has desired it for his habitation.
“This is my resting place forever. Here I will live, for I have desired it.
I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread.
Her priests I will also clothe with yesha' ·salvation·. Her saints will shout aloud for joy.
There I will make the horn of David [Beloved] to bud. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.
I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will be resplendent.”
