1   LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions:
    2   How he sware 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 thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.
    9   Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.
  10   For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.
  11   The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
  12   If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.
  13   For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath 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.
  18   His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
