1 Lord, remember David

and all his self-denial.

2 He swore an oath to the Lord,

he made a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:

3 “I will not enter my house

or go to my bed,

4 I will allow no sleep to my eyes

or slumber to my eyelids,

5 till I find a place for the Lord,

a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

6 We heard it in Ephrathah,

we came upon it in the fields of Jaar:

7 “Let us go to his dwelling place,

let us worship at his footstool, saying,

8 ‘Arise, Lord, and come to your resting place,

you and the ark of your might.

9 May your priests be clothed with your righteousness;

may your faithful people sing for joy.’ ”

1 Remember, O Lord, in David’s favor,

all the hardships he endured,

2 how he swore to the Lord

and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob,

3 “I will not enter my house

or get into my bed,

4 I will not give sleep to my eyes

or slumber to my eyelids,

5 until I find a place for the Lord,

a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

6 Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah;

we found it in the fields of Jaar.

7 “Let us go to his dwelling place;

let us worship at his footstool!”

8 Arise, O Lord, and go to your resting place,

you and the ark of your might.

9 Let your priests be clothed with righteousness,

and let your saints shout for joy.

1 Lord, Remember David,

And all his afflictions:

2 How he sware unto the Lord,

And vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;

3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house,

Nor go up into my bed;

4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes,

Or slumber to mine eyelids,

5 Until I find out a place for the Lord,

An habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.

6 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah:

We found it in the fields of the wood.

7 We will go into his tabernacles:

We will worship at his footstool.

8 Arise, O Lord, into thy rest;

Thou, and the ark of thy strength.

9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness;

And let thy saints shout for joy.

1 Lord, remember David

and all that he suffered.

2 He made a solemn promise to the Lord.

He vowed to the Mighty One of Israel,

3 “I will not go home;

I will not let myself rest.

4 I will not let my eyes sleep

nor close my eyelids in slumber

5 until I find a place to build a house for the Lord,

a sanctuary for the Mighty One of Israel.”

6 We heard that the Ark was in Ephrathah;

then we found it in the distant countryside of Jaar.

7 Let us go to the sanctuary of the Lord;

let us worship at the footstool of his throne.

8 Arise, O Lord, and enter your resting place,

along with the Ark, the symbol of your power.

9 May your priests be clothed in godliness;

may your loyal servants sing for joy.

1 Lord, remember David

and all his suffering.

2 He made an oath to the Lord,

a promise to the Mighty God of Jacob.

3 He said, “I will not go home to my house,

or lie down on my bed,

4 or close my eyes,

or let myself sleep

5 until I find a place for the Lord.

I want to provide a home for the Mighty God of Jacob.”

6 We heard about the Ark in Bethlehem.

We found it at Kiriath Jearim.

7 Let’s go to the Lord’s house.

Let’s worship at his footstool.

8 Rise, Lord, and come to your resting place;

come with the Ark that shows your strength.

9 May your priests do what is right.

May your people sing for joy.

1 Jehovah, remember for David

All his affliction;

2 How he sware unto Jehovah,

And vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob:

3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house,

Nor go up into my bed;

4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes,

Or slumber to mine eyelids;

5 Until I find out a place for Jehovah,

A tabernacle for the Mighty One of Jacob.

6 Lo, we heard of it in Ephrathah:

We found it in the field of the wood.

7 We will go into his tabernacles;

We will worship at his footstool.

8 Arise, O Jehovah, into thy resting-place;

Thou, and the ark of thy strength.

9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness;

And let thy saints shout for joy.

1 Jehovah, remember for David all his affliction; 2 How he swore unto Jehovah, vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob: 3 I will not come into the tent of my house, I will not go up to the couch of my bed; 4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, slumber to mine eyelids, 5 Until I find out a place for Jehovah, habitations for the Mighty One of Jacob. … 6 Behold, we heard of it at Ephratah, we found it in the fields of the wood. 7 Let us go into his habitations, let us worship at his footstool. 8 Arise, Jehovah, into thy rest, thou and the ark of thy strength. 9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness, and let thy saints shout for joy.

and made this vow to the Mighty One of Jacob: 

3 “I will not step inside my house, 

4 get into my bed, shut my eyes, or close my eyelids 

5 until I find a place for the Lord, 

a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.” 

6 Now, we have heard about the ark ⸤of the promise⸥ being in Ephrathah. 

We have found it in Jaar. 

7 Let’s go to his dwelling place. 

Let’s worship at his footstool. 

8 O Lord, arise, and come to your resting place 

with the ark of your power. 

9 Clothe your priests with righteousness. 

Let your godly ones sing with joy.

You and Your powerful ark.

8 Rise up, O Lord, and go to your resting place,

you and the ark of your might.

9 Let your priests be clothed with righteousness,

1 O Yahweh, remember with regard to David

all his affliction.

2 How he swore to Yahweh,

he vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

3 “I will not enter into the tent of my house,

I will not go up to the couch of my bed,

4 I will give no sleep to my eyes,

no slumber to my eyelids,

5 until I find a place for Yahweh,

a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

6 Look, we heard of it in Ephrathah;

2 Lord, he took an oath.

Mighty One of Jacob, he made a promise to you.

3 He said, “I won’t enter my house

or go to bed.

4 I won’t let my eyes sleep.

I won’t close my eyelids

5 until I find a place for the Lord.

I want to build a house for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

6 Here are the words we heard in Ephrathah.

We heard them again in the fields of Kiriath Jearim.

7 “Let us go to the Lord’s house.

Let us worship at his feet.

8 Lord, rise up and come to your resting place.

Come in together with the ark. It’s the sign of your power.

9 May your priests put on godliness as if it were their clothes.

May your faithful people sing with joy.”

1 Remember, O Lord, on David’s behalf,

All his affliction;

2 How he swore to the Lord

And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob,

3 “Surely I will not enter my house,

Nor lie on my bed;

4 I will not give sleep to my eyes

Or slumber to my eyelids,

5 Until I find a place for the Lord,

A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

6 Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah,

We found it in the field of Jaar.

7 Let us go into His dwelling place;

Let us worship at His footstool.

8 Arise, O Lord, to Your resting place,

You and the ark of Your strength.

9 Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness,

And let Your godly ones sing for joy.
