A SongH7892 of degreesH4609. LORDH3068, rememberH2142 DavidH1732, and all his afflictionsH6031:
How he swareH7650 unto the LORDH3068, and vowedH5087 unto the mightyH46 God of JacobH3290;
Surely I will not comeH935 into the tabernacleH168 of my houseH1004, nor go upH5927 into my bedH6210+H3326;
I will not giveH5414 sleepH8153 to mine eyesH5869, or slumberH8572 to mine eyelidsH6079,
Until I find outH4672 a placeH4725 for the LORDH3068, an habitationH4908 for the mightyH46 God of JacobH3290. {an habitation: Heb. habitations}
Lo, we heardH8085 of it at EphratahH672: we foundH4672 it in the fieldsH7704 of the woodH3293.
We will goH935 into his tabernaclesH4908: we will worshipH7812 at his footstoolH1916+H7272.
AriseH6965, O LORDH3068, into thy restH4496; thou, and the arkH727 of thy strengthH5797.
Let thy priestsH3548 be clothedH3847 with righteousnessH6664; and let thy saintsH2623 shout for joyH7442.
For thy servantH5650 David'sH1732 sake turn not awayH7725 the faceH6440 of thine anointedH4899.
The LORDH3068 hath swornH7650 in truthH571 unto DavidH1732; he will not turnH7725 from it; Of the fruitH6529 of thy bodyH990 will I setH7896 upon thy throneH3678. {body: Heb. belly}
If thy childrenH1121 will keepH8104 my covenantH1285 and my testimonyH5713 thatH2090+H2097 I shall teachH3925 them, their childrenH1121 shall also sitH3427 upon thy throneH3678 for evermoreH5703.
For the LORDH3068 hath chosenH977 ZionH6726; he hath desiredH183 it for his habitationH4186.
This is my restH4496 for everH5703: here will I dwellH3427; for I have desiredH183 it.
I will abundantlyH1288 blessH1288 her provisionH6718: I will satisfyH7646 her poorH34 with breadH3899. {abundantly: or, surely}
I will also clotheH3847 her priestsH3548 with salvationH3468: and her saintsH2623 shall shout aloudH7442 for joyH7444.
There will I makeH6779 the hornH7161 of DavidH1732 to budH6779: I have ordainedH6186 a lampH5216 for mine anointedH4899. {lamp: or, candle}
His enemiesH341 will I clotheH3847 with shameH1322: but upon himself shall his crownH5145 flourishH6692.

A SongH7892 of degreesH4609. In my distressH6869 I criedH7121 unto the LORDH3068, and he heardH6030 me.
RememberH2142, O LORDH3068, thy tender merciesH7356 and thy lovingkindnessesH2617; for they have been ever of oldH5769. {tender…: Heb. bowels}
And it came to pass, when he had made an endH3615 of speakingH1696 unto SaulH7586, that the soulH5315 of JonathanH3083 was knitH7194 with the soulH5315 of DavidH1732, and JonathanH3083 lovedH157 him as his own soulH5315.
And SaulH7586 tookH3947 him that dayH3117, and would letH5414 him go no more homeH7725 to his father'sH1 houseH1004.
Then JonathanH3083 and DavidH1732 madeH3772 a covenantH1285, because he lovedH160 him as his own soulH5315.
And JonathanH3083 strippedH6584 himself of the robeH4598 that was upon him, and gaveH5414 it to DavidH1732, and his garmentsH4055, even to his swordH2719, and to his bowH7198, and to his girdleH2289.
And DavidH1732 went outH3318 whithersoever SaulH7586 sentH7971 him, and behaved himself wiselyH7919: and SaulH7586 setH7760 him over the menH582 of warH4421, and he was acceptedH3190 in the sightH5869 of all the peopleH5971, and also in the sightH5869 of Saul'sH7586 servantsH5650. {behaved…: or, prospered}
And it came to pass as they cameH935, when DavidH1732 was returnedH7725 from the slaughterH5221 of the PhilistineH6430, that the womenH802 came outH3318 of all citiesH5892 of IsraelH3478, singingH7891 and dancingH4246, to meetH7125 kingH4428 SaulH7586, with tabretsH8596, with joyH8057, and with instrumentsH7991 of musick. {Philistine: or, Philistines} {instruments…: Heb. three stringed instruments}
And the womenH802 answeredH6030 one another as they playedH7832, and saidH559, SaulH7586 hath slainH5221 his thousandsH505, and DavidH1732 his ten thousandsH7233.
And SaulH7586 was veryH3966 wrothH2734, and the sayingH1697 displeasedH3415+H5869 him; and he saidH559, They have ascribedH5414 unto DavidH1732 ten thousandsH7233, and to me they have ascribedH5414 but thousandsH505: and what can he have more but the kingdomH4410? {displeased him: Heb. was evil in his eyes}
And SaulH7586 eyedH5770 DavidH1732 from that dayH3117 and forwardH1973.
And it came to pass on the morrowH4283, that the evilH7451 spiritH7307 from GodH430 cameH6743 upon SaulH7586, and he prophesiedH5012 in the midstH8432 of the houseH1004: and DavidH1732 playedH5059 with his handH3027, as at other timesH3117: and there was a javelinH2595 in Saul'sH7586 handH3027.
And SaulH7586 castH2904 the javelinH2595; for he saidH559, I will smiteH5221 DavidH1732 even to the wallH7023 with it. And DavidH1732 avoided outH5437 of his presenceH6440 twiceH6471.
And SaulH7586 was afraidH3372 ofH6440 DavidH1732, because the LORDH3068 was with him, and was departedH5493 from SaulH7586.
Therefore SaulH7586 removedH5493 him from him, and madeH7760 him his captainH8269 over a thousandH505; and he went outH3318 and came inH935 beforeH6440 the peopleH5971.
And DavidH1732 behaved himself wiselyH7919 in all his waysH1870; and the LORDH3068 was with him. {behaved…: or, prospered}
Wherefore when SaulH7586 sawH7200 that he behavedH7919 himself veryH3966 wiselyH7919, he was afraidH1481 ofH6440 him.
But all IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063 lovedH157 DavidH1732, because he went outH3318 and came inH935 beforeH6440 them.
And SaulH7586 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Behold my elderH1419 daughterH1323 MerabH4764, her will I giveH5414 thee to wifeH802: only be thou valiantH1121+H2428 for me, and fightH3898 the LORD'SH3068 battlesH4421. For SaulH7586 saidH559, Let not mine handH3027 be upon him, but let the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430 be upon him. {valiant: Heb. a son of valour}
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, Who am I? and what is my lifeH2416, or my father'sH1 familyH4940 in IsraelH3478, that I should be son in lawH2860 to the kingH4428?
But it came to pass at the timeH6256 when MerabH4764 Saul'sH7586 daughterH1323 should have been givenH5414 to DavidH1732, that she was givenH5414 unto AdrielH5741 the MeholathiteH4259 to wifeH802.
And MichalH4324 Saul'sH7586 daughterH1323 lovedH157 DavidH1732: and they toldH5046 SaulH7586, and the thingH1697 pleasedH3474+H5869 him. {pleased him: Heb. was right in his eyes}
And SaulH7586 saidH559, I will giveH5414 him her, that she may be a snareH4170 to him, and that the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430 may be against him. Wherefore SaulH7586 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Thou shalt this dayH3117 be my son in lawH2859 in the one of the twainH8147.
And SaulH7586 commandedH6680 his servantsH5650, saying, CommuneH1696 with DavidH1732 secretlyH3909, and sayH559, Behold, the kingH4428 hath delightH2654 in thee, and all his servantsH5650 loveH157 thee: now therefore be the king'sH4428 son in lawH2859.
And Saul'sH7586 servantsH5650 spakeH1696 those wordsH1697 in the earsH241 of DavidH1732. And DavidH1732 saidH559, SeemethH5869 it to you a lightH7043 thing to be a king'sH4428 son in lawH2859, seeing that I am a poorH7326 manH376, and lightly esteemedH7034?
And the servantsH5650 of SaulH7586 toldH5046 him, sayingH559, On this mannerH1697 spakeH1696 DavidH1732. {On…: Heb. According to these words}
And SaulH7586 saidH559, Thus shall ye sayH559 to DavidH1732, The kingH4428 desirethH2656 not any dowryH4119, but an hundredH3967 foreskinsH6190 of the PhilistinesH6430, to be avengedH5358 of the king'sH4428 enemiesH341. But SaulH7586 thoughtH2803 to make DavidH1732 fallH5307 by the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430.
And when his servantsH5650 toldH5046 DavidH1732 these wordsH1697, it pleasedH3474+H1697+H5869 DavidH1732 well to be the king'sH4428 son in lawH2859: and the daysH3117 were not expiredH4390. {expired: Heb. fulfilled}
Wherefore DavidH1732 aroseH6965 and wentH3212, he and his menH582, and slewH5221 of the PhilistinesH6430 two hundredH3967 menH376; and DavidH1732 broughtH935 their foreskinsH6190, and they gave them in full taleH4390 to the kingH4428, that he might be the king'sH4428 son in lawH2859. And SaulH7586 gaveH5414 him MichalH4324 his daughterH1323 to wifeH802.
And SaulH7586 sawH7200 and knewH3045 that the LORDH3068 was with DavidH1732, and that MichalH4324 Saul'sH7586 daughterH1323 lovedH157 him.
And SaulH7586 was yet the moreH3254 afraidH3372 ofH6440 DavidH1732; and SaulH7586 became David'sH1732 enemyH341 continuallyH3117.
Then the princesH8269 of the PhilistinesH6430 went forthH3318: and it came to pass, afterH1767 they went forthH3318, that DavidH1732 behaved himself more wiselyH7919 than all the servantsH5650 of SaulH7586; so that his nameH8034 was muchH3966 set byH3365. {set by: Heb. precious}
A SongH7892 of degreesH4609. I will lift upH5375 mine eyesH5869 unto the hillsH2022, from whenceH370 comethH935 my helpH5828. {I will…: or, Shall I lift up mine eyes to the hills? whence should my help come?}
RememberH2142 not the sinsH2403 of my youthH5271, nor my transgressionsH6588: according to thy mercyH2617 rememberH2142 thou me for thy goodness'H2898 sake, O LORDH3068.
And it came to pass after thisH310, that AbsalomH53 preparedH6213 him chariotsH4818 and horsesH5483, and fiftyH2572 menH376 to runH7323 beforeH6440 him.
And AbsalomH53 rose up earlyH7925, and stoodH5975 besideH3027 the wayH1870 of the gateH8179: and it was so, that when any manH376 that had a controversyH7379 cameH935 to the kingH4428 for judgmentH4941, then AbsalomH53 calledH7121 unto him, and saidH559, Of whatH335 cityH5892 art thou? And he saidH559, Thy servantH5650 is of oneH259 of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478. {came: Heb. to come}
And AbsalomH53 saidH559 unto him, SeeH7200, thy mattersH1697 are goodH2896 and rightH5228; but there is no man deputed of the kingH4428 to hearH8085 thee. {there…: or, none will hear thee from the king downward}
AbsalomH53 saidH559 moreover, Oh that I were madeH7760 judgeH8199 in the landH776, that every manH376 which hath any suitH7379 or causeH4941 might comeH935 unto me, and I would do him justiceH6663!
And it was so, that when any manH376 came nighH7126 to him to do him obeisanceH7812, he put forthH7971 his handH3027, and tookH2388 him, and kissedH5401 him.
And on this mannerH1697 didH6213 AbsalomH53 to all IsraelH3478 that cameH935 to the kingH4428 for judgmentH4941: so AbsalomH53 stoleH1589 the heartsH3820 of the menH582 of IsraelH3478.
And it came to pass afterH7093 fortyH705 yearsH8141, that AbsalomH53 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, I pray thee, let me goH3212 and payH7999 my vowH5088, which I have vowedH5087 unto the LORDH3068, in HebronH2275.
For thy servantH5650 vowedH5087 a vowH5088 while I abodeH3427 at GeshurH1650 in SyriaH758, sayingH559, If the LORDH3068 shall bring me againH7725+H7725 indeed to JerusalemH3389, then I will serveH5647 the LORDH3068.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, GoH3212 in peaceH7965. So he aroseH6965, and wentH3212 to HebronH2275.
But AbsalomH53 sentH7971 spiesH7270 throughout all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, As soon as ye hearH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, then ye shall sayH559, AbsalomH53 reignethH4427 in HebronH2275.
And with AbsalomH53 wentH1980 two hundredH3967 menH376 out of JerusalemH3389, that were calledH7121; and they wentH1980 in their simplicityH8537, and they knewH3045 not any thingH1697.
And AbsalomH53 sentH7971 for AhithophelH302 the GiloniteH1526, David'sH1732 counsellorH3289, from his cityH5892, even from GilohH1542, while he offeredH2076 sacrificesH2077. And the conspiracyH7195 was strongH533; for the peopleH5971 increasedH7227 continuallyH1980 with AbsalomH53.
And there cameH935 a messengerH5046 to DavidH1732, sayingH559, The heartsH3820 of the menH376 of IsraelH3478 are afterH310 AbsalomH53.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto all his servantsH5650 that were with him at JerusalemH3389, AriseH6965, and let us fleeH1272; for we shall not else escapeH6413 fromH6440 AbsalomH53: make speedH4116 to departH3212, lest he overtakeH5381 us suddenlyH4116, and bringH5080 evilH7451 upon us, and smiteH5221 the cityH5892 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719. {bring: Heb. thrust}
And the king'sH4428 servantsH5650 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, Behold, thy servantsH5650 are ready to do whatsoever my lordH113 the kingH4428 shall appointH977. {appoint: Heb. choose}
And the kingH4428 went forthH3318, and all his householdH1004 afterH7272 him. And the kingH4428 leftH5800 tenH6235 womenH802, which were concubinesH6370, to keepH8104 the houseH1004. {after…: Heb. at his feet}
And the kingH4428 went forthH3318, and all the peopleH5971 afterH7272 him, and tarriedH5975 in a placeH1004 that was far offH4801+H1023.
And all his servantsH5650 passed onH5674 besideH3027 him; and all the CherethitesH3774, and all the PelethitesH6432, and all the GittitesH1663, sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376 which cameH935 afterH7272 him from GathH1661, passed onH5674 beforeH6440 the kingH4428.
Then saidH559 the kingH4428 to IttaiH863 the GittiteH1663, Wherefore goestH3212 thou also with us? returnH7725 to thy placeH4725, and abideH3427 with the kingH4428: for thou art a strangerH5237, and also an exileH1540.
Whereas thou camestH935 but yesterdayH8543, should I this dayH3117 make thee goH3212 up and downH5128+H5128 with us? seeing I goH1980 whither I may, returnH7725 thou, and take backH7725 thy brethrenH251: mercyH2617 and truthH571 be with thee. {go up…: Heb. wander in going}
A SongH7892 of degreesH4609 of DavidH1732. I was gladH8055 when they saidH559 unto me, Let us goH3212 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
And GodH430 rememberedH2142 NoahH5146, and every living thingH2416, and all the cattleH929 that was with him in the arkH8392: and GodH430 madeH5674 a windH7307 to passH5674 overH5921 the earthH776, and the watersH4325 asswagedH7918;
A SongH7892 of degreesH4609. Unto thee lift I upH5375 mine eyesH5869, O thou that dwellestH3427 in the heavensH8064.
And GodH430 heardH8085 their groaningH5009, and GodH430 rememberedH2142 his covenantH1285 with AbrahamH85, with IsaacH3327, and with JacobH3290.
A SongH7892 of degreesH4609 of DavidH1732. IfH3884 it had not been the LORDH3068 who was on our side, now may IsraelH3478 sayH559;
RememberingH2142 mine afflictionH6040 and my miseryH4788, the wormwoodH3939 and the gallH7219. {Remembering: or, Remember}
A SongH7892 of degreesH4609. They that trustH982 in the LORDH3068 shall be as mountH2022 ZionH6726, which cannot be removedH4131, but abidethH3427 for everH5769.
A SongH7892 of degreesH4609. When the LORDH3068 turned againH7725 the captivityH7870 of ZionH6726, we were like them that dreamH2492. {turned…: Heb. returned the returning}
A SongH7892 of degreesH4609 for SolomonH8010. Except the LORDH3068 buildH1129 the houseH1004, they labourH5998 in vainH7723 that buildH1129 it: except the LORDH3068 keepH8104 the cityH5892, the watchmanH8104 wakethH8245 but in vainH7723. {for…: or, of Solomon} {that…: Heb. that are builders of it in it}
A SongH7892 of degreesH4609. BlessedH835 is every one that fearethH3373 the LORDH3068; that walkethH1980 in his waysH1870.
