[1]Lord, remember David with all his affliction.
[2]Who swear unto the Lord, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob, saying,
[3]I will not enter into the tabernacle of mine house, nor come upon my pallet or bed,
[4]Nor suffer mine eyes to sleep, nor mine eye lids to slumber,
[5]Until I find out a place for the Lord, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.
[6]Lo, we heard of it in Ephratah, and found it in the fields of the forest.
[7]We will enter into his tabernacles, and worship before his footstool.
[8]Arise, O Lord, to come into thy rest, thou, and the ark of thy strength.
[9]Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness, and let thy saints rejoice.
[10]For thy servant David's sake refuse not the face of thine anointed.
[11]The Lord hath sworn in truth unto David, and he will not shrink from it, saying, Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
[12]If thy sons keep my covenant, and my testimonies, that I shall teach them, their sons also shall sit upon thy throne forever.
[13]For the Lord hath chosen Zion, and loved to dwell in it , saying,
[14]This is my rest forever: here will I dwell, for I have a delight therein.
[15]I will surely bless her victuals, and will satisfy her poor with bread,
[16]And will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints shall shout for joy.
[17]There will I make the horn of David to bud: for I have ordained a light for mine anointed.
[18]His enemies will I clothe with shame, but on him his crown shall flourish.
