1 Lord, remember David, and all his afflictions:

2 How he swore to the LORD, and vowed to 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 my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids,

5 Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.

6 See, 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' sake turn not away the face of your anointed.

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

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

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 my anointed.

18 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but on himself shall his crown flourish.

1 Jehovah, remember for David

All his affliction;

2 How he sware unto Jehovah,

And vowed unto the Mighty One 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 Jehovah,

A tabernacle for the Mighty One of Jacob.

6 Lo, we heard of it in Ephrathah:

We found it in the field of the wood.

7 We will go into his tabernacles;

We will worship at his footstool.

8 Arise, O Jehovah, into thy resting-place;

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 Jehovah hath sworn unto David in truth;

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 also shall sit upon thy throne for evermore.

13 For Jehovah hath chosen Zion;

He hath desired it for his habitation.

14 This is my resting-place 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 Her priests also will I clothe 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.
