1. Hashem, remember Dovid, and all his afflictions;
2. How he swore unto Hashem, and vowed unto Avir Ya'akov (the Mighty One of Ya'akov);
3. Surely I will not come into the ohel of my bais, nor go up into my bed;
4. I will not give sleep to mine eyes, nor tenumah (slumber) to mine eyelids,
5. Until I find a makom (place) for Hashem, even mishkanot for the Avir Ya'akov.
6. Hinei, we heard of it at Ephratah; we found it in the sedei Ya'ar (fields of Ya'ar).
7. We will go into His mishkanot; we will worship at the hadom (footstool) of His raglayim.
8. Arise, Hashem, into Thy menuchah (resting place); Thou, and the Aron of Thy oz (might).
9. Let Thy Kohanim be clothed with tzedek; and let Thy chasidim sing for joy.
10. For the sake of Dovid Thy Eved, do not turn away the face of Thine Moshiach [see Isa 52:13; 53:11].
11. Hashem hath sworn in emes unto Dovid; He will not turn from His oath: Of the p'ri (fruit) of thy beten (body) will I set upon thy kisse (throne).
