[1] Jehovah, remember for David All his affliction; [2] How he sware unto Jehovah, And vowed unto the Mighty One 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 Jehovah, A tabernacle for the Mighty One of Jacob. [6] Lo, we heard of it in Ephrathah: We found it in the field of the wood. [7] We will go into his tabernacles; We will worship at his footstool. [8] Arise, O Jehovah, into thy resting-place; 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] Jehovah hath sworn unto David in truth; 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 also shall sit upon thy throne for evermore. [13] For Jehovah hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it for his habitation. [14] This is my resting-place 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] Her priests also will I clothe 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.
