1A Song of degrees. LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], remember David [Beloved], [and] all his afflictions:

2How he swore unto the LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], [and] vowed unto the mighty [God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]] of Ya’akov [Heel of God];

3Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;

4I will not give sleep to mine eyes, [or] slumber to mine eyelids,

5Until I find out a place for the LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], an habitation for the mighty [God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]] of Ya’akov [Heel of God].

6Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah [Place of Fruitfulness]: we found it in the fields of the wood.

7We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.

8Arise, O LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], into yourⁱ rest; youⁱ, and the ark of yourⁱ strength.

9Let yourⁱ priests be clothed with righteousness; and let yourⁱ saints shout for joy.

10For yourⁱ servant David [Beloved]'s sake turn not away the face of yourⁱ anointed.

11The LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] has sworn [in] truth unto David [Beloved]; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of yourⁱ body will I set upon yourⁱ throne.

12If yourⁱ children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon yourⁱ throne forevermore.

13For the LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] has chosen Tziyon [Parched Place]; he has desired [it] for his habitation.

14This [is] my rest forever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.

15I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.

16I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

17There will I make the horn of David [Beloved] to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.

18His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
