[1] Remember, O LORD, on David's behalf, All his affliction;
[2] How he swore to the LORD And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob,
[3] “Surely I will not enter my house, Nor lie on 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 field of Jaar.
[7] Let us go into His dwelling place; 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 godly ones sing for joy.
[10] For the sake of David Your servant, Do not turn away the face of Your anointed.
[11] The LORD has sworn to David A truth from which He will not turn back: “Of the fruit of your body I will set upon your throne.
[12] If your sons will keep My covenant And My testimony which I will teach them, Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forever.”
[13] For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His habitation.
[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 needy with bread.
[16] Her priests also I will clothe with salvation, And her godly ones will sing aloud for joy.
[17] There I will cause the horn of David to spring forth; I have prepared a lamp for Mine anointed.
[18] His enemies I will clothe with shame, But upon himself his crown shall shine.”
