- A Song of degrees. LORD, remember David and all his afflictions;
- How he swore to the LORD, and vowed to the mighty God of Jacob;
- Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;
- I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids,
- Until I find a place for the LORD, a habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.
- Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.
- We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.
- Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.
- Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.
- For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thy anointed.
- The LORD hath sworn in truth to David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
- If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them; their children also shall sit upon thy throne for ever.
- For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.
- This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
- I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.
- I will also clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
- There will I make the horn of David to bud, I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.
- His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
