| 1 | A Song of Ascents. LORD, remember unto David All his affliction; |
| 2 | How he swore unto the LORD, And vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob: |
| 3 | ‘Surely I will not come into the tent of my house, Nor go up into the bed that is spread for me; |
| 4 | I will not give sleep to mine eyes, Nor slumber to mine eyelids; |
| 5 | Until I find out a place for the LORD, A dwelling-place for the Mighty One of Jacob.' |
| 6 | Lo, we heard of it as being in Ephrath; We found it in the field of athe wood. |
| 7 | Let us go into His dwelling-place; Let us worship at His footstool. . |
| 8 | Arise, O LORD, unto 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 | The LORD swore unto David in truth; He will not turn back from it: 'Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne. |
| 12 | If thy children keep My covenant And My testimony that I shall teach them, Their children also for ever shall sit upon thy throne.' |
| 13 | For the LORD 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 give her needy bread in plenty. |
| 16 | Her priests also will I clothe with salvation; And her saints shall shout aloud for joy. |
| 17 | There will I make a horn to shoot up unto David, There have I ordered a lamp for Mine anointed. |
| 18 | His enemies will I clothe with shame; But upon himself shall his crown shine.' |
