(1) The Song of Ascent. From the depths I call upon Thee, O God! (2) Lord! Hear my voice! Let Thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. (3) God, if you keep your sins, Lord, who will stand? (4) But you have forgiveness, so that they may revere you. (5) I trust in God, my soul trusts, I trust in his word. (6) My soul waits for the Lord more than the watchmen wait for the morning, and more than the watchmen for the morning. (7) Let Israel trust in God, for God has mercy and great deliverance with him. (8) And he will deliver Israel from all their sins.

(1) The Song of David's Ascent. God! My heart was not haughty, and my eyes were not lifted up, I did not enter into the great things that were unattainable to me. (2) If I have not humbled and comforted my soul, as a babe weaned from its mother's breast... My soul was in me like a child weaned. (3) Let Israel trust in God from now on and forever.

(1) The Song of Ascent. Remember, God, David, and all. his grief. (2) As he swore to God, he made a vow to the mighty [God] of Yaakov: (3) "I will not enter the tent of my house, nor will I ascend my couch, (4) I will not let my eyes sleep, my eyelids slumber, (5) until I find a place for God, a dwelling place for the mighty [God] of Jacob." 6 Behold, we heard of him in Ephrata, and found him in a wooded region. (7) Let us go to His abode, let us worship His footstool. (8) Arise, O God, in the place of your rest, you and the ark of your might! (9) Your priests will be clothed with righteousness, and your godly ones will sing. (10) For the sake of David, your servant, do not reject the face of your anointed. (11) God swore to David that the truth would not depart from it: "From the fruit of your womb I will sit on your throne. (12) If your sons keep my covenant and my testimony, which I teach them, then their sons will sit on your throne forever." (13) For God has chosen Zion and desired to make it his abode: (14) "This is my rest forever, and I will dwell here, for I have desired it. (15) I will bless his food, and I will feed his poor with bread. (16) I will clothe his priests with salvation, and his pious will rejoice. (17) There I will magnify David, I will prepare a lamp for my anointed. (18) I will put shame on his enemies, and his crown will shine on him."

(1) The Song of David's Ascent. That's how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to be together! (2) Like the precious oil on the head, flowing down on the beard, the beard of Aharon dripping down on the hems of his garment, (3) like the dew of Hermon flowing down on the mountains of Zion. For there God commanded a blessing: life for ever.
