[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."
