1: LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions: |
|
2: How he sware 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, an habitation for the
mighty God of Jacob. |
|
6: Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: 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 will I 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. |
