KJV Parallel NLT [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
King James BibleNew Living Translation
1A Song of degrees. LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions:1LORD, remember David and all that he suffered.
2How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;2He made a solemn promise to the LORD. He vowed to the Mighty One of Israel,
3Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;3“I will not go home; I will not let myself rest.
4I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,4I will not let my eyes sleep nor close my eyelids in slumber
5Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.5until I find a place to build a house for the LORD, a sanctuary for the Mighty One of Israel.”
6Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.6We heard that the Ark was in Ephrathah; then we found it in the distant countryside of Jaar.
7We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.7Let us go to the sanctuary of the LORD; let us worship at the footstool of his throne.
8Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.8Arise, O LORD, and enter your resting place, along with the Ark, the symbol of your power.
9Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.9May your priests be clothed in godliness; may your loyal servants sing for joy.
10For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.10For the sake of your servant David, do not reject the king you have anointed.
11The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.11The LORD swore an oath to David with a promise he will never take back: “I will place one of your descendants on your throne.
12If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.12If your descendants obey the terms of my covenant and the laws that I teach them, then your royal line will continue forever and ever.”
13For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.13For the LORD has chosen Jerusalem ; he has desired it for his home.
14This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.14“This is my resting place forever,” he said. “I will live here, for this is the home I desired.
15I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.15I will bless this city and make it prosperous; I will satisfy its poor with food.
16I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.16I will clothe its priests with godliness; its faithful servants will sing for joy.
17There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.17Here I will increase the power of David; my anointed one will be a light for my people.
18His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.18I will clothe his enemies with shame, but he will be a glorious king.”
