<a id="1" name="1"></a>
1. Remember, O LORD, in David’s favor, all the hardships he endured, 
<a id="2" name="2"></a>
2. how he swore to the LORD and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob, 
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
3. “I will not enter my house or get into my bed, 
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
4. I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids, 
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
5. until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.” 
<a id="6" name="6"></a>
6. Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar. 
<a id="7" name="7"></a>
7. “Let us go to his dwelling place; let us worship at his footstool!” 
<a id="8" name="8"></a>
8. Arise, O LORD, and go to your resting place, you and the ark of your might. 
<a id="9" name="9"></a>
9. Let your priests be clothed with righteousness, and let your saints shout for joy. 
<a id="10" name="10"></a>
10. For the sake of your servant David, do not turn away the face of your anointed one. 
<a id="11" name="11"></a>
11. The 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. 
<a id="12" name="12"></a>
12. If your sons keep my covenant and my testimonies that I shall teach them, their sons also forever shall sit on your throne.” 
<a id="13" name="13"></a>
13. For the LORD has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his dwelling place: 
<a id="14" name="14"></a>
14. “This is my resting place forever; here I will dwell, for I have desired it. 
<a id="15" name="15"></a>
15. I will abundantly bless her provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread. 
<a id="16" name="16"></a>
16. Her priests I will clothe with salvation, and her saints will shout for joy. 
<a id="17" name="17"></a>
17. There I will make a horn to sprout for David; I have prepared a lamp for my anointed. 
<a id="18" name="18"></a>
18. His enemies I will clothe with shame, but on him his crown will shine.”
