The text of the psalm
שִׁיר הַמַּעֲלוֹת זְכוֹר־יְהוָה לְדָוִד אֵת כָּל־עֻנּוֹתֽוֹ׃
A Song of Ascents. LORD, remember unto David All his affliction;
אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּע לַיהוָה נָדַר לַאֲבִיר יַעֲקֹֽב׃
How he swore unto the LORD, And vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob:
אִם־אָבֹא בְּאֹהֶל בֵּיתִי אִם־אֶעֱלֶה עַל־עֶרֶשׂ יְצוּעָֽי׃
‘Surely I will not come into the tent of my house, Nor go up into the bed that is spread for me;
אִם־אֶתֵּן שְׁנַת לְעֵינָי לְעַפְעַפַּי תְּנוּמָֽה׃
I will not give sleep to mine eyes, Nor slumber to mine eyelids;
עַד־אֶמְצָא מָקוֹם לַיהוָה מִשְׁכָּנוֹת לַאֲבִיר יַעֲקֹֽב׃
Until I find out a place for the LORD, A dwelling-place for the Mighty One of Jacob.'
הִנֵּה־שְׁמַעֲנוּהָ בְאֶפְרָתָה מְצָאנוּהָ בִּשְׂדֵי־יָֽעַר׃
Lo, we heard of it as being in Ephrath; We found it in the field of athe wood.
נָבוֹאָה לְמִשְׁכְּנוֹתָיו נִשְׁתַּחֲוֶה לַהֲדֹם רַגְלָֽיו׃
Let us go into His dwelling-place; Let us worship at His footstool. .
קוּמָה יְהוָה לִמְנוּחָתֶךָ אַתָּה וַאֲרוֹן עֻזֶּֽךָ׃
Arise, O LORD, unto Thy resting-place; Thou, and the ark of Thy strength.
כֹּהֲנֶיךָ יִלְבְּשׁוּ־צֶדֶק וַחֲסִידֶיךָ יְרַנֵּֽנוּ׃
Let Thy priests be clothed with righteousness; And let Thy saints shout for joy.
בַּעֲבוּר דָּוִד עַבְדֶּךָ אַל־תָּשֵׁב פְּנֵי מְשִׁיחֶֽךָ׃
For Thy servant David's sake Turn not away the face of Thine anointed.
נִשְׁבַּע־יְהוָה לְדָוִד אֱמֶת לֹא־יָשׁוּב מִמֶּנָּה מִפְּרִי בִטְנְךָ אָשִׁית לְכִסֵּא־לָֽךְ׃
The LORD swore unto David in truth; He will not turn back from it: 'Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
אִם־יִשְׁמְרוּ בָנֶיךָ בְּרִיתִי וְעֵדֹתִי זוֹ אֲלַמְּדֵם גַּם־בְּנֵיהֶם עֲדֵי־עַד יֵשְׁבוּ לְכִסֵּא־לָֽךְ׃
If thy children keep My covenant And My testimony that I shall teach them, Their children also for ever shall sit upon thy throne.'
כִּי־בָחַר יְהוָה בְּצִיּוֹן אִוָּהּ לְמוֹשָׁב לֽוֹ׃
For the LORD hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it for His habitation:
זֹאת־מְנוּחָתִי עֲדֵי־עַד פֹּה־אֵשֵׁב כִּי אִוִּתִֽיהָ׃
'This is My resting-place for ever; Here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
צֵידָהּ בָּרֵךְ אֲבָרֵךְ אֶבְיוֹנֶיהָ אַשְׂבִּיעַ לָֽחֶם׃
I will abundantly bless her provision; I will give her needy bread in plenty.
וְכֹהֲנֶיהָ אַלְבִּישׁ יֶשַׁע וַחֲסִידֶיהָ רַנֵּן יְרַנֵּֽנוּ׃
Her priests also will I clothe with salvation; And her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
שָׁם אַצְמִיחַ קֶרֶן לְדָוִד עָרַכְתִּי נֵר לִמְשִׁיחִֽי׃
There will I make a horn to shoot up unto David, There have I ordered a lamp for Mine anointed.
אוֹיְבָיו אַלְבִּישׁ בֹּשֶׁת וְעָלָיו יָצִיץ נִזְרֽוֹ׃
His enemies will I clothe with shame; But upon himself shall his crown shine.'
