1 Y ahweh, remember David and all his affliction,

2 h ow he swore to Yahweh, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

3 “ Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, nor go up into my bed;

4 I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids;

5 u ntil I find out a place for Yahweh, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

6 B ehold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar:

7 “ We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at his footstool.

8 A rise, Yahweh, into your resting place; you, and the ark of your strength.

9 L et your priest be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!”

10 F or your servant David’s sake, don’t turn away the face of your anointed one.

11 Y ahweh has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: “I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.

12 I f your children will keep my covenant, my testimony that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forever more.”

13 F or Yahweh has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation.

14 “ This is my resting place forever. Here I will live, for I have desired it.

15 I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread.

16 H er priests I will also clothe with salvation. Her saints will shout aloud for joy.

17 T here I will make the horn of David to bud. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.

18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will be resplendent.”
