American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
And I heard one speaking unto me out of the house; and a man stood by me.
And he said unto me, Son of man, this is the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever. And the house of Israel shall no more defile my holy name, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, and by the dead bodies of their kings {Or, according to another reading, in their death.}in their high places;
in their setting of their threshold by my threshold, and their door-post beside my door-post, and there was but the wall between me and them; and they have defiled my holy name by their abominations which they have committed: wherefore I have consumed them in mine anger.
Now let them put away their whoredom, and the dead bodies of their kings, far from me; and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.
Thou in thy lovingkindness hast led the people that thou hast redeemed:Thou hast guided them in thy strength to thy holy habitation.
Thou wilt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance,The place, O Jehovah, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in,The sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.
And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God.
And they shall know that I am Jehovah their God, that brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I might dwell among them: I am Jehovah their God.
A Song of Ascents.Jehovah, remember for DavidAll his affliction;
How he sware unto Jehovah,And vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob:
Surely I will not come into the {Hebrew: tent.}tabernacle of my house,Nor go up into {Hebrew: the couch of my bed.}my bed;
I will not give sleep to mine eyes,Or slumber to mine eyelids;
Until I find out a place for Jehovah, {Hebrew: Tablernacles.}A tabernacle for the Mighty One of Jacob.
Lo, we heard of it in {Or, Ephraim}Ephrathah:We found it in the field of {Or, Jaar See 1 Chronicles 13:5.}the wood.
We will go into his tabernacles;We will worship at his footstool.
Arise, O Jehovah, into thy resting-place;Thou, and the ark of thy strength.
Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness;And let thy saints shout for joy.
For thy servant David's sakeTurn not away the face of thine anointed.
Jehovah hath sworn unto David in truth;He will not turn from it:Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
If thy children will keep my covenantAnd my testimony that I shall teach them,Their children also shall sit upon thy throne for evermore.
For Jehovah hath chosen Zion;He hath desired it for his habitation.
This is my resting-place for ever:Here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
I will {Or, surely}abundantly bless her provision:I will satisfy her poor with bread.
Her priests also will I clothe with salvation;And her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
There will I make {Or, a horn to spring forth unto David}the horn of David to bud:I have {Or, prepared}ordained a lamp for mine anointed.
His enemies will I clothe with shame;But upon himself shall his crown flourish.
