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 Jehovah, remember for David

All his affliction;

2 How he sware unto Jehovah,

And vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob:

3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house,

Nor go up into my bed;

4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes,

Or slumber to mine eyelids;

5 Until I find out a place for Jehovah,

A tabernacle for the Mighty One of Jacob.

6 Lo, we heard of it in Ephrathah:

We found it in the field of the wood.

7 We will go into his tabernacles;

We will worship at his footstool.

8 Arise, O Jehovah, into thy resting-place;

Thou, and the ark of thy strength.

9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness;

And let thy saints shout for joy.

10 For thy servant David’s sake

Turn not away the face of thine anointed.

11 Jehovah hath sworn unto David in truth;

He will not turn from it:

Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.

12 If thy children will keep my covenant

And my testimony that I shall teach them,

Their children also shall sit upon thy throne for evermore.

13 For Jehovah hath chosen Zion;

He hath desired it for his habitation.

14 This is my resting-place for ever:

Here will I dwell; for I have desired it.

15 I will abundantly bless her provision:

I will satisfy her poor with bread.

16 Her priests also will I clothe with salvation;

And her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

17 There will I make the horn of David to bud:

I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.

18 His enemies will I clothe with shame;

But upon himself shall his crown flourish.
