¹ LORD, remember David and all his afflictions--

² how he swore 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, a habitation for the Mighty God of Jacob."

⁶ Lo, we heard of it at Ephrathah; 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 I will 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."
