^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 [2] enter my house, Nor [1] 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, [3] A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.»

^6. Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah, We found it in the field of [4] Jaar.

^7. Let us go into His [5] 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.»
