1. 耶和华阿，求你记念大卫，记念他所受的一切苦难。 Remember, O Jehovah, for David's sake All his afflictions;
2. 他怎样向耶和华起誓，向雅各的大能者许愿，说， How he swore to Jehovah And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3. 我必不进我的帐幕，也不上我的床榻； I shall not go into the tent of my house; I shall not go up onto the couch of my bed;
4. 我不容我的眼睛睡觉，也不容我的眼皮打盹； I shall not give sleep to my eyes, Slumber to my eyelids;
5. 直等我为耶和华寻得所在，为雅各的大能者寻得居所。 Until I find a place for Jehovah, A tabernacle for the Mighty One of Jacob.
6. 看哪，我们听说约柜在以法他，我们在基列耶琳就寻见了。 Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah; We found it in the fields of Jaar.
7. 我们要进祂的居所，在祂脚凳前下拜。 We will go into His tabernacle; We will worship at His footstool.
8. 耶和华阿，求你兴起，和你有能力的约柜同入你安息之所。 Arise, O Jehovah, unto Your resting place, You and the Ark of Your strength.
9. 愿你的祭司披上公义，愿你的虔诚人欢呼。 Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness, And let Your faithful ones give a ringing shout.
10. 求你因你仆人大卫的缘故，不厌弃你的受膏者。 For the sake of David Your servant, Do not turn away the face of Your Anointed One.
11. 耶和华向大卫凭真实起了誓，必不反覆，说，我要从你本身所生的，立一位坐在你的宝座上。 Jehovah has sworn unto David in truth; He will not turn from it: Of the fruit of your body I will set One upon your throne.
12. 你的众子若守我的约，和我所教训他们的法度，他们的子孙也必永远坐在你的宝座上。 If your children keep My covenant And My testimonies that I will teach them, Their children also will sit Upon your throne forever.
13. 因为耶和华拣选了锡安，愿意当作自己的居所， For Jehovah has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His habitation.
14. 说，这是我永远安息之所；我要住在这里，因为是我所愿意的。 This is My resting place forever; Here will I dwell, for I have desired it.
15. 我要丰厚的赐福与其中的粮，使其中的穷人饱得食物。 I will abundantly bless its provision; I will satisfy its poor with bread.
16. 我要使其中的祭司披上救恩，其中的虔诚人大声欢呼。 And its priests I will clothe with salvation, And its faithful ones will shout with a ringing shout.
17. 我要叫大卫的角在那里长出；我为我的受膏者预备明灯。 There I will cause a horn of David to shoot forth; I have prepared a lamp for My anointed one.
18. 我要使他的仇敌披上羞耻，但他的冠冕要在他头上发光。 I will clothe his enemies with shame, But on him his crown will shine.
