1 Lord, remember David, and all his afflictions:
-
2 How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;
-
3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;
-
4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,
-
5 Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.
-
6 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.
-
7 We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.
-
8 Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.
-
9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.
-
10 For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.
-
11 The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
-
12 If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.
-
13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.
-
14 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
-
15 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.
-
16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
-
17 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.
-
18 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.

- 1 Remember, O LORD, on David's behalf, All his affliction;
- 2 How he swore to the LORD And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob,
- 3 “Surely I will not enter my house, Nor lie on my bed;
- 4 I will not give sleep to my eyes Or slumber to my eyelids,
- 5 Until I find a place for the LORD, A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
- 6 Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah, We found it in the field of Jaar.
- 7 Let us go into His dwelling place; Let us worship at His footstool.
- 8 Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength.
- 9 Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness, And let Your godly ones sing for joy.
- 10 For the sake of David Your servant, Do not turn away the face of Your anointed.
- 11 The LORD has sworn to David A truth from which He will not turn back: “Of the fruit of your body I will set upon your throne.
- 12 “If your sons will keep My covenant And My testimony which I will teach them, Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forever.”
- 13 For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His habitation.
- 14 “This is My resting place forever; Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.
- 15 “I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her needy with bread.
- 16 “Her priests also I will clothe with salvation, And her godly ones will sing aloud for joy.
- 17 “There I will cause the horn of David to spring forth; I have prepared a lamp for Mine anointed.
- 18 “His enemies I will clothe with shame, But upon himself his crown shall shine.”
