1 Matkalaulu. Muista, Herra, Daavidin hyväksi kaikkia hänen vaivojansa,

2 hänen, joka vannoi valan Herralle ja teki lupauksen Jaakobin Väkevälle:

4 minä en suo silmilleni unta enkä silmäluomilleni lepoa,

6 Katso, me kuulimme sen olevan Efratassa, me löysimme sen Jaarin kedoilta.

7 Menkäämme hänen asumukseensa, kumartukaamme hänen jalkainsa astinlaudan eteen.

8 Nouse, Herra, leposijaasi, sinä ja sinun väkevyytesi arkki.

9 Sinun pappisi olkoot puetut vanhurskaudella, ja sinun hurskaasi riemuitkoot.

10 Palvelijasi Daavidin tähden älä torju pois voideltusi kasvoja.

13 Sillä Herra on valinnut Siionin, halunnut sen asunnoksensa:

15 Siionin ravinnon minä runsaasti siunaan, sen köyhät minä leivällä ruokin.

16 Sen papit minä puetan autuudella, ja sen hurskaat riemuiten riemuitkoot.

17 Siellä minä annan yletä Daavidille sarven, sytytän voidellulleni lampun.

1 A Song of the Ascents. Remember, Jehovah, for David, all his afflictions.

2 Who hath sworn to Jehovah. He hath vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

3 `If I enter into the tent of my house, If I go up on the couch of my bed,

4 If I give sleep to mine eyes, To mine eyelids -- slumber,

5 Till I do find a place for Jehovah, Tabernacles for the Mighty One of Jacob.

6 `Lo, we have heard it in Ephratah, We have found it in the fields of the forest.

7 We come in to His tabernacles, We bow ourselves at His footstool.

8 Arise, O Jehovah, to Thy rest, Thou, and the ark of Thy strength,

9 Thy priests do put on righteousness, And Thy pious ones cry aloud.

10 For the sake of David Thy servant, Turn not back the face of Thine anointed.

11 Jehovah hath sworn truth to David, He turneth not back from it: Of the fruit of thy body, I set on the throne for thee.

12 If thy sons keep My covenant, And My testimonies that I teach them, Their sons also for ever and ever, Do sit on the throne for thee.

13 For Jehovah hath fixed on Zion, He hath desired [it] for a seat to Himself,

14 This [is] My rest for ever and ever, Here do I sit, for I have desired it.

15 Her provision I greatly bless, Her needy ones I satisfy [with] bread,

16 And her priests I clothe [with] salvation, And her pious ones do sing aloud.

17 There I cause to spring up a horn for David, I have arranged a lamp for Mine anointed.

18 His enemies I do clothe [with] shame, And upon him doth his crown flourish!
