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. |
