1. Lord, remember David, and all his afflictions:

2. How he swore 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 your rest; you, and the ark of your strength.

9. Let your priests be clothed with righteousness; and let your saints shout for joy.

10. For your servant David's sake turn not away the face of yours anointed.

11. The LORD has sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of your body will I set upon your throne.

12. If your children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon your throne for evermore.

13. For the LORD has chosen Zion; he has 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.
