¹A song of ascents. [1] Out of the depths I call to you, LORD!

²Lord, listen to my voice; let your ears be attentive to my cry for help.

³LORD, if you kept an account of iniquities, Lord, who could stand?

⁴But with you there is forgiveness, so that you may be revered.

⁵I wait for the LORD; I wait and put my hope in his word.

⁶I wait for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning — more than watchmen for the morning.

⁷Israel, put your hope in the LORD. For there is faithful love with the LORD, and with him is redemption in abundance.

⁸And he will redeem Israel from all its iniquities.

¹A song of ascents. Of David. [1] LORD, my heart is not proud; my eyes are not haughty. I do not get involved with things too great or too wondrous for me.

²Instead, I have calmed and quieted my soul like a weaned child with its mother; my soul is like a weaned child.

³Israel, put your hope in the LORD, both now and forever.

¹A song of ascents. [1] LORD, remember David and all the hardships he endured,

²and how he swore an oath to the LORD, making a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:

³“I will not enter my house or get into my bed,

⁴I will not allow my eyes to sleep or my eyelids to slumber

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

⁶We heard of the ark in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.

⁷Let us go to his dwelling place; let us worship at his footstool.

⁸Rise up, LORD, come to your resting place, you and your powerful ark.

⁹May your priests be clothed with righteousness, and may your faithful people shout for joy.

¹⁰For the sake of your servant David, do not reject your anointed one.

¹¹The LORD swore an oath to David, a promise he will not abandon: “I will set one of your offspring on your throne.

¹²If your sons keep my covenant and my decrees that I will teach them, their sons will also sit on your throne forever.”

¹³For the LORD has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his home:

¹⁴“This is my resting place forever; I will make my home here because I have desired it.

¹⁵I will abundantly bless its food; I will satisfy its needy with bread.

¹⁶I will clothe its priests with salvation, and its faithful people will shout for joy.

¹⁷There I will make a horn grow for David; I have prepared a lamp for my anointed one.

¹⁸I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown he wears will be glorious.”
