O LORD, remember in David’s favor all the hardships he endured;
|
|
2
|
how he swore to the LORD and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob,
|
|
3
|
“I will not enter my house or get into my bed;
|
|
4
|
I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,
|
|
5
|
until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
|
|
6
|
We heard of it in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.
|
|
7
|
“Let us go to his dwelling place; let us worship at his footstool.”
|
|
8
|
Rise up, O LORD, and go to your resting place, you and the ark of your might.
|
|
9
|
Let your priests be clothed with righteousness, and let your faithful shout for joy.
|
|
10
|
For your servant David’s sake do not turn away the face of your anointed one.
|
|

The LORD swore to David a sure oath from which he will not turn back: “One of the sons of your body I will set on your throne.
|
|
12
|
If your sons keep my covenant and my decrees that I shall teach them, their sons also, forevermore, shall sit on your throne.”
|
|
13
|
For the LORD has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his habitation:
|
|
14
|
“This is my resting place forever; here I will reside, for I have desired it.
|
|
15
|
I will abundantly bless its provisions; I will satisfy its poor with bread.
|
|
16
|
Its priests I will clothe with salvation, and its faithful will shout for joy.
|
|
17
|
There I will cause a horn to sprout up for David; I have prepared a lamp for my anointed one.
|
|
18
|
His enemies I will clothe with disgrace, but on him, his crown will gleam.”
