| 1 [Song of Ascents] Yahweh, remember David and al the hardships he endured, | 1 Cântico das peregrinações. Oh, como é bom, como é agradável para irmãos unidos viverem juntos. |
| 2 the oath he swore to Yahweh, his vow to the Mighty One of Jacob: | 2 É como um óleo suave derramado sobre a fronte, e que desce para a barba, a barba de Aarão, para correr em seguida até a orla de seu manto. |
| 3 'I wil not enter tent or house, wil not climb into bed, | 3 É como o orvalho do Hermon, que desce pela colina de Sião; pois ali derrama o Senhor a vida e uma bênção eterna. |
| 4 will not al ow myself to sleep, not even to close my eyes, | |
| 5 til I have found a place for Yahweh, a dwel ing for the Mighty One of Jacob!' | |
| 6 Listen, we heard of it in Ephrathah, we found it at Forest-Fields. | |
| 7 Let us go into his dwel ing-place, and worship at his footstool. | |
| 8 Go up, Yahweh, to your resting-place, you and the ark of your strength. | |
| 9 Your priests are robed in saving justice, your faithful are shouting for joy. | |
| 10 For the sake of your servant David, do not reject your anointed. | |
| 11 Yahweh has sworn to David, and wil always remain true to his word, 'I promise that I wil set a sonof yours upon your throne. | |
| 12 If your sons observe my covenant and the instructions I have taught them, their sons too forevermore wil occupy your throne.' | |
| 13 For Yahweh has chosen Zion, he has desired it as a home. | |
| 14 'Here shal I rest for evermore, here shal I make my home as I have wished. | |
| 15 'I shal generously bless her produce, give her needy their fil of food, | |
| 16 I shal clothe her priests with salvation, and her faithful wil sing aloud for joy. | |
| 17 'There I shal raise up a line of descendants for David, light a lamp for my anointed; | |
| 18 I shal clothe his enemies with shame, while his own crown shall flourish.' | |
