  1. 1LORD, remember David and all his afflictions:
  2. 2How he swore to the LORD and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
  3. 3'Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;
  4. 4I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,
  5. 5until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.'
  6. 6Look, we heard of it at Ephratah; we found it in the fields of the wood.
  7. 7We will go into his tabernacles; we will worship at his footstool.
  8. 8Arise, O LORD, into your rest — you and the ark of your strength.
  9. 9Let your priests be clothed with righteousness, and let your saints shout for joy.
  10. 10For your servant David's sake, do not turn away the face of your anointed.
  11. 11The LORD has sworn in truth to David; he will not turn from it: 'Of the fruit of your body I will set upon your throne.
  12. 12If your children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children also shall sit upon your throne forevermore.'
  13. 13For the LORD has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his dwelling place.
  14. 14'This is my rest forever; here I will dwell, for I have desired it.
  15. 15I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her poor with bread.
  16. 16I will also clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
  17. 17There I will make the horn of David to bud; I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.
  18. 18His enemies I will clothe with shame, but upon himself his crown shall flourish.'
