1朝圣之歌（原文作“往上行之歌”）。耶和华啊！求你记念大卫，记念他的一切苦难。（本节在《马索拉抄本》包括细字标题）
1A Song of the Ascents. Remember, Jehovah, for David, all his afflictions.
2他怎样向耶和华起誓，向雅各的大能者许愿，说：
2Who hath sworn to Jehovah. He hath vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3“我必不进我的家（“家”原文作“家的帐棚”），也必不上我的床榻。
3`If I enter into the tent of my house, If I go up on the couch of my bed,
4我必不容我的眼睛睡觉，也不容我的眼睑打盹；
4If I give sleep to mine eyes, To mine eyelids — slumber,
5直到我为耶和华找着一个地方，为雅各的大能者找到居所。”
5Till I do find a place for Jehovah, Tabernacles for the Mighty One of Jacob.
6我们听说约柜在以法他；我们在雅珥的田间找到它。
6`Lo, we have heard it in Ephratah, We have found it in the fields of the forest.
7“我们要进入他的居所，在他的脚凳前下拜。
7We come in to His tabernacles, We bow ourselves at His footstool.
8耶和华啊，求你起来，求你和你有能力的约柜同入安息的居所。
8Arise, O Jehovah, to Thy rest, Thou, and the ark of Thy strength,
9愿你的祭司都披上公义，愿你的圣民都欢呼。
9Thy priests do put on righteousness, And Thy pious ones cry aloud.
10求你因你仆人大卫的缘故，不要转脸不理你的受膏者。”
10For the sake of David Thy servant, Turn not back the face of Thine anointed.
11耶和华实实在在向大卫起了誓，他必不会收回，他说：“我要从你的后裔中，立一位坐在你的王位上。
11Jehovah hath sworn truth to David, He turneth not back from it: Of the fruit of thy body, I set on the throne for thee.
12如果你的子孙谨守我的约，和我教训他们的法度，他们的子孙也必永远坐在你的王位上。”
12If thy sons keep My covenant, And My testimonies that I teach them, Their sons also for ever and ever, Do sit on the throne for thee.
13因为耶和华拣选了锡安，定意把它当作自己的居所。他说：
13For Jehovah hath fixed on Zion, He hath desired [it] for a seat to Himself,
14“这是我永远安息的居所；我要住在这里，因为我定意这样作。
14This [is] My rest for ever and ever, Here do I sit, for I have desired it.
15我要赐给锡安丰盛的粮食，我要使城中的穷人饱足。
15Her provision I greatly bless, Her needy ones I satisfy [with] bread,
16我要使祭司都披上救恩，使圣民都大大欢呼。
16And her priests I clothe [with] salvation, And her pious ones do sing aloud.
17我要在那里使大卫的角长起来，我要为我的受膏者安排明灯。
17There I cause to spring up a horn for David, I have arranged a lamp for Mine anointed.
18我要使他的仇敌都披上羞辱，但他的冠冕必在他头上发光。”
18His enemies I do clothe [with] shame, And upon him doth his crown flourish!
