A song of ascents.
and all the hardships he endured,s
2 and how he swore an oath to the Lord,
making a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:t
or get into my bed,
4 I will not allow my eyes to sleep
or my eyelids to slumberu
5 until I find a place for the Lord,
a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”v
6 We heard of the ark in Ephrathah;B,w
we found it in the fields of Jaar.C,x
7 Let’s go to his dwelling place;
let’s worship at his footstool.y
8 Rise up, Lord, come to your resting place,
you and your powerful ark.z
9 May your priests be clothed with righteousness,
and may your faithful people shout for joy.aa
10 For the sake of your servant David,
do not reject your anointed one.D,ab
11 The Lord swore an oath to David,
a promise he will not abandon:
“I will set one of your offspringE
on your throne.ac
12 If your sons keep my covenant
and my decrees that I will teach them,
their sons will also sit on your throne forever.”ad
13 For the Lord has chosen Zion;
he has desired it for his home:ae
14 “This is my resting place forever;
I will make my home here
because I have desired it.af
15 I will abundantly bless its food;
I will satisfy its needy with bread.ag
16 I will clothe its priests with salvation,
and its faithful people will shout for joy.a
17 There I will make a horn grow for David;b
I have prepared a lamp for my anointed one.c
18 I will clothe his enemies with shame,d

About Christian Standard BibleThe Christian Standard Bible (CSB) is a highly trustworthy, faithful translation that is proven to be the optimal blend of accuracy and readability. It’s as literal to the original as possible without sacrificing clarity. The CSB is poised to become the translation that pastors rely on and Bible readers turn to again and again to read and to share with others. The CSB is an original translation: more than 100 scholars from 17 denominations translated directly from the best available Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic source texts into English. Its source texts are the standard used by scholars and seminaries today. The CSB is trustworthy: the conservative, evangelical scholars of the CSB affirm the authority of Scripture as the inerrant Word of God and seek the highest level of faithfulness to the original and accuracy in their translation. These scholars and LifeWay, the non-profit ministry that stewards the CSB, also champion the Bible against cultural trends that would compromise its truths. The CSB is clear: it is as literal a translation of the ancient source texts as possible, but, in the many places throughout Scripture where a word-for-word rendering might obscure the meaning for a modern audience, it uses a more dynamic translation. In all cases, the intent is to convey the original meaning of God’s Word as faithfully and as clearly as possible. |
