שִׁיר הַמַּעֲלוֹת זְכוֹר יְהוָה לְדָוִד אֵת כָּל עֻנּוֹתוֹ:
A song of ascents. Remember, O Lord, onto David all his affliction.
אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּע לַיהוָה נָדַר לַאֲבִיר יַעֲקֹב:
That he swore to the Lord, he vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob;
אִם אָבֹא בְּאֹהֶל בֵּיתִי אִם אֶעֱלֶה עַל עֶרֶשׂ יְצוּעָי:
That I shall not come into the tent of my house, and I shall not go up on the bed that was spread for me.
אִם אֶתֵּן שְׁנַת לְעֵינָי לְעַפְעַפַּי תְּנוּמָה:
I shall not give sleep to my eyes nor slumber to my pupils,
עַד אֶמְצָא מָקוֹם לַיהוָה מִשְׁכָּנוֹת לַאֲבִיר יַעֲקֹב:
Until I find a place for the Lord, dwellings for the Mighty One of Jacob.
הִנֵּה שְׁמַעֲנוּהָ בְאֶפְרָתָה מְצָאנוּהָ בִּשְׂדֵי יָעַר:
Behold we heard it in Ephrath; we found it in the fields of the forest.
נָבוֹאָה לְמִשְׁכְּנוֹתָיו נִשְׁתַּחֲוֶה לַהֲדֹם רַגְלָיו:
Let us come to His Tabernacles; let us prostrate ourselves to His footstool.
קוּמָה יְהוָה לִמְנוּחָתֶךָ אַתָּה וַאֲרוֹן עֻזֶּךָ:
Arise, O Lord, to Your resting place, You and the Ark of Your might.
כֹּהֲנֶיךָ יִלְבְּשׁוּ צֶדֶק וַחֲסִידֶיךָ יְרַנֵּנוּ:
Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness, and let Your devout ones sing praises.
בַּעֲבוּר דָּוִד עַבְדֶּךָ אַל תָּשֵׁב פְּנֵי מְשִׁיחֶךָ:
For the sake of David Your servant, turn not away the face of Your anointed.
נִשְׁבַּע יְהוָה לְדָוִד אֱמֶת לֹא יָשׁוּב מִמֶּנָּה מִפְּרִי בִטְנְךָ אָשִׁית לְכִסֵּא לָךְ:
The Lord has sworn to David in truth, from which He will never turn back, "Of the fruit of your body I shall seat upon your throne.
אִם יִשְׁמְרוּ בָנֶיךָ בְּרִיתִי וְעֵדֹתִי זוֹ אֲלַמְּדֵם גַּם בְּנֵיהֶם עֲדֵי עַד יֵשְׁבוּ לְכִסֵּא לָךְ:
If your sons keep My covenant, and this, My testimony, which I shall teach them, also their sons will sit on your throne forever."
כִּי בָחַר יְהוָה בְּצִיּוֹן אִוָּהּ לְמוֹשָׁב לוֹ:
For the Lord has chosen Zion; He desired it for His habitation.
זֹאת מְנוּחָתִי עֲדֵי עַד פֹּה אֵשֵׁב כִּי אִוִּתִיהָ:
This is My resting place forever; here I shall dwell for I desired it.
צֵידָהּ בָּרֵךְ אֲבָרֵךְ אֶבְיוֹנֶיהָ אַשְׂבִּיעַ לָחֶם:
I shall bless its provision; I shall sate its needy with bread.
וְכֹהֲנֶיהָ אַלְבִּישׁ יֶשַׁע וַחֲסִידֶיהָ רַנֵּן יְרַנֵּנוּ:
And its priests I shall clothe with salvation, and its devout ones will sing praises.
שָׁם אַצְמִיחַ קֶרֶן לְדָוִד עָרַכְתִּי נֵר לִמְשִׁיחִי:
There I shall cause David's horn to sprout; I have set up a lamp for My anointed.
אוֹיְבָיו אַלְבִּישׁ בֹּשֶׁת וְעָלָיו יָצִיץ נִזְרוֹ:
His enemies I shall clothe with shame, and upon him his crown will shine.
