[1] O LORD, remember David and all his afflictions, [2] how he swore unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob: [3] "I will not come into my house, nor go up to 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 for the mighty God of Jacob." [6] We heard of it in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar. [7] "We will go to His dwelling place, we will worship at His footstool." [8] Arise, O LORD, go to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength. [9] Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness, and let Your godly ones shout for joy. [10] For Your servant David's sake, do not turn away Your anointed king. [11] The LORD has sworn with a sure oath to David that He will not turn from it: "From the fruit of your body I will set a son on your throne. [12] If your children will keep My covenant and My testimonies that I shall teach them, then their children shall also sit upon your throne forever." [13] For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His dwelling: [14] "This is My resting place forever; here I will dwell, for I have chosen it. [15] I will abundantly bless her provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread. [16] I will also clothe her priests with salvation, and her godly ones shall shout for joy. [17] "There I will make a horn sprout for David; I have prepared a lamp for My anointed one. [18] His enemies I will clothe with shame, but on him his crown will shine."
