| 1 | Lord, [earnestly] remember to David’s credit all his humiliations
and
hardships
and
endurance— |
| 2 | How he swore to the Lord and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob: |
| 3 | Surely I will not enter my dwelling house or get into my bed— |
| 4 | I will not permit my eyes to sleep
or
my eyelids to slumber, |
| 5 | Until I have found a place for the Lord, a habitation for the Mighty One of Jacob. |
| 6 | Behold, at Ephratah we [first] heard of [the discovered ark]; we found it in the fields of the wood [at Kiriath-jearim]. |
| 7 | Let us go into His tabernacle; let us worship at His footstool. |
| 8 | Arise, O Lord, to Your resting-place, You and the ark [the symbol] of Your strength. |
| 9 | Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness (right living and right standing with God); and let Your saints shout for joy! |
| 10 | For Your servant David’s sake, turn not away the face of Your anointed
and
reject not Your own king. |
| 11 | The Lord swore to David in truth; He will not turn back from it: One of the fruit of your body I will set upon your throne. |
| 12 | If your children will keep My covenant and My testimony that I shall teach them, their children also shall sit upon your throne forever. |
| 13 | For the Lord has chosen Zion, He has desired it for His habitation: |
| 14 | This is My resting-place forever [says the Lord]; here will I dwell, for I have desired it. |
| 15 | I will surely
and
abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her poor with bread. |
| 16 | Her priests also will I clothe with salvation, and her saints shall shout aloud for joy. |
| 17 | There will I make a horn spring forth
and
bud for David; I have ordained
and
prepared a lamp for My anointed [fulfilling the promises of old]. |
| 18 | His enemies will I clothe with shame, but upon himself shall his crown flourish. |
