Translation

On account of your servant david:/ turn not away the face of your anointed one./ The lord has sworn truth to david and he will not deceive with it:/ I will set upon your throne from the fruit of your womb./ If your children shall keep my testament:/ and my testimonies which I shall teach them./ Their children also: also forever/ shall sit upon your throne./ Because the lord has chosen sion:/ he has chosen it for his dwelling./ This is my rest forever and ever:/ here I will live because I have chosen it./ Blessing I will bless her widows I will satisfy her poor with bread./ I will clothe her priests with benefits:/ and her holy ones shall rejoice with joyfulness./ To there I will bring forth a horn to david:/ I have prepared a lamp for my anointed ones./ I will clothe his enemies with disorder:/ but my sanctification shall flourish on him./
