God

so that no passer-by says, "ADONAI's blessing on you! We bless you in the name of ADONAI!"

A song of ascents. By David: ADONAI, I call to you from the depths;

hear my cry, Adonai! Let your ears pay attention to the sound of my pleading.

Yah, if you kept a record of sins, who, Adonai, could stand?

But with you there is forgiveness, so that you will be feared.

I wait longingly for ADONAI; I put my hope in his word.

Everything in me waits for Adonai more than guards on watch wait for morning, more than guards on watch wait for morning.

Isra'el, put your hope in ADONAI! For grace is found with ADONAI, and with him is unlimited redemption.

He will redeem Isra'el from all their wrongdoings.

A song of ascents. By David: ADONAI, my heart isn't proud; I don't set my sight too high, I don't take part in great affairs or in wonders far beyond me.

Isra'el, put your hope in ADONAI from now on and forever!

A song of ascents: ADONAI, remember in David's favor all the hardships he endured,

how he swore to ADONAI, vowed to the Mighty One of Ya'akov,

until I find a place for ADONAI, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Ya'akov."

Let's go into his dwelling and prostrate ourselves at his footstool.

Go up, ADONAI, to your resting-place, you and the ark through which you give strength.

May your cohanim be clothed with righteousness; may those loyal to you shout for joy.

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

ADONAI swore an oath to David, an oath he will not break: "One of the sons from your own body I will set on your throne.

If your sons keep my covenant and my instruction, which I will teach them, then their descendants too, forever, will sit on your throne."

For ADONAI has chosen Tziyon, he has wanted it as his home.

"This is my resting-place forever, I will live here because I so much want to.

I will bless it with plenty of meat, I will give its poor their fill of food.

Its cohanim I will clothe with salvation, and its faithful will shout for joy.

I will make a king sprout there from David's line and prepare a lamp for my anointed one.
