[1] LORD, remember David and all his affliction,
[2] how he swore to the LORD, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
[3] “Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, nor go up into my bed;
[4] I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids;
[5] until I find out a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
[6] Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar:
[7] “We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at his footstool.
[8] Arise, LORD, into your resting place, you, and the ark of your strength.
[9] Let your priests be clothed with righteousness. Let your holy ones shout for joy!”
[10] For your servant David’s sake, don’t turn away the face of your anointed one.
[11] The LORD has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: “I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.
[12] If your children will keep my covenant, my testimony that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forever more.”
[13] For the LORD has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation.
[14] “This is my resting place forever. I will live here, 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. Her holy ones will shout aloud for joy.
[17] I will make the horn of David to bud there. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.
[18] I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will shine.”
