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