¹{Pesem stopinj.} Spominjaj se, o GOSPOD, Davidu vsega truda njegovega!

²how he swore to Yahweh, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

²Kako je prisegel GOSPODU, obljubil Mogočnemu Jakobovemu:

³“Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, nor go up into my bed;

³Ne pojdem v hiše svoje šator, ne stopim na posteljo ležišča svojega,

⁴I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids;

⁴spanja ne dam očem svojim, dremanja trepalnicam svojim,

⁵until I find out a place for Yahweh, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

⁵dokler ne najdem mesta za GOSPODA, bivališča za Mogočnega Jakobovega!

⁶Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar:

⁶Glej, skrinja zaveze je bila, kakor smo slišali, v Efrati, našli smo jo na poljanah Jaarskih.

⁷“We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at his footstool.

⁷Pojdimo v šatore njegove, priklanjajmo se pred nog njegovih podnožjem!

⁸Arise, Yahweh, into your resting place; you, and the ark of your strength.

⁸Vstani, GOSPOD, stopi v počivališče svoje, ti in skrinja moči tvoje!

⁹Let your priest be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!”

⁹Duhovniki tvoji naj se oblečejo s pravičnostjo in sveti tvoji naj pojó veselo.

¹⁰For your servant David’s sake, don’t turn away the face of your anointed one.

¹⁰Zavoljo Davida, hlapca svojega, ne zavrni maziljenca svojega obličja!

¹¹Yahweh has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: “I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.

¹¹Prisegel je GOSPOD Davidu resnico, od katere ne bo odstopil: „Od sadú telesa tvojega posadim na prestol tvoj.

¹²If your children will keep my covenant, my testimony that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forevermore.”

¹²Ako se bodo držali zaveze moje sinovi tvoji in pričevanj mojih, katerih jih bom učil, bodo tudi njih sinovi vekomaj sedeli na prestolu mojem.“

¹³For Yahweh has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation.

¹³Zakaj GOSPOD je izvolil Sion, želel si ga je za prebivališče svoje:

¹⁴“This is my resting place forever. Here I will live, for I have desired it.

¹⁴To je počivališče moje vekomaj, tu bom prebival, ker njega sem si želel.

¹⁵I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread.

¹⁵Hrano njegovo bom bogato blagoslovil, potrebne njegove nasitim s kruhom;

¹⁶Her priests I will also clothe with salvation. Her saints will shout aloud for joy.

¹⁶in duhovnike njegove oblečem z zveličanjem, in sveti njegovi bodo veselo peli.

¹⁷There I will make the horn of David to bud. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.

¹⁷Storim, da tam požene rog Davidu, kjer sem pripravil svetilo maziljencu svojemu.Sovražnike njegove ogrnem s sramoto, nad njim pa bo cvetel venec njegov.

¹⁸I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will be resplendent.”

¹⁸Sovražnike njegove ogrnem s sramoto, nad njim pa bo cvetel venec njegov.
