1. O Lord, remember Davidand all his afflictions,
2. how he swore unto the Lord,and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob:
3. “I will not come into my house,nor go up to my bed;
4. I will not give sleep to my eyes,or slumber to my eyelids,
5. until I find a place for the Lord,a dwelling for the mighty God of Jacob.”
6. We heard of it in Ephrathah;we found it in the fields of Jaar.
