1O Lord, remember in David’s favor

all the hardships he endured;

2how 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;

4I will not give sleep to my eyes

or slumber to my eyelids,

5until I find a place for the Lord,

a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”*

6We 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.”*

8Rise up, O Lord, and go to your resting place,

you and the ark of your might.*

9Let your priests be clothed with righteousness,

and let your faithful shout for joy.*

10For your servant David’s sake

do not turn away the face of your anointed one.

11The 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.*

12If your sons keep my covenant

and my decrees that I shall teach them,

their sons also, forevermore,

shall sit on your throne.”*

13For 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.

15I will abundantly bless its provisions;

I will satisfy its poor with bread.*

16Its priests I will clothe with salvation,

and its faithful will shout for joy.

17There I will cause a horn to sprout up for David;

I have prepared a lamp for my anointed one.*

18His enemies I will clothe with disgrace,

but on him, his crown will gleam.”*
