1<> LORD, remember David and all his afflictions--
2how 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;
4I will not give sleep to mine eyes or slumber to mine eyelids
5until I find out a place for the LORD, a habitation for the Mighty God of Jacob."
6Lo, 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."
8Arise, O LORD, into Thy rest, Thou and the ark of Thy strength.
9Let Thy priests be clothed with righteousness, and let Thy saints shout for joy.
10For Thy servant David's sake, turn not away the face of Thine anointed.
11The 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.
12If thy children will keep My covenant and My testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore."
13For 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.
15I will abundantly bless her provision, I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16I will also clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
17There will I make the horn of David to bud; I have ordained a lamp for Mine anointed.
18His enemies will I clothe with shame, but upon himself shall his crown flourish."
