[1] LORD, remember David And all his afflictions; [2] How he swore to the LORD, And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob: [3] "Surely I will not go into the chamber of my house, Or go up to the comfort of 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 fields of the woods. [7] Let us go into His tabernacle; 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 saints shout for joy. [10] For Your servant David's sake, Do not turn away the face of Your Anointed. [11] The LORD has sworn in truth to David; He will not turn from it: "I will set upon your throne the fruit of your body. [12] If your sons will keep My covenant And My testimony which I shall teach them, Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forevermore." [13] For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His dwelling place: [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 poor with bread. [16] I will also clothe her priests with salvation, And her saints shall shout aloud for joy. [17] There I will make the horn of David grow; I will prepare a lamp for My Anointed. [18] His enemies I will clothe with shame, But upon Himself His crown shall flourish."
