1 Hashem, remember Dovid, and all his afflictions;
2 How he swore unto Hashem, and vowed unto Avir Ya'akov (the Mighty One of Ya'akov);
3 Surely I will not come into the ohel of my bais, nor go up into my bed;
4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, nor tenumah (slumber) to mine eyelids,
5 Until I find a makom (place) for Hashem, even mishkanot for the Avir Ya'akov.
6 Hinei, we heard of it at Ephratah; we found it in the sedei Ya'ar (fields of Ya'ar).
