1. LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions:
2. How he swore unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;
3. Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;
4. I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids,
5. Until I find out a place for the LORD, a habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.
6. Lo, we heard of it at Ephrathah: we found it in the fields of the woods.
7. We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.
8. Arise, O LORD, into your rest; you, and the ark of your strength.
9. Let your priests be clothed with righteousness; and let your saints shout for joy.
10. For your servant David's sake turn not away the face of your anointed.
11. The LORD has sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it;
12. If your children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon your throne forevermore.
13. For the LORD has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his habitation.
