| 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. |
