1. O Lord, for David’s sake rememberall his strenuous effort,
2. and how he made a vow to the Lord,and swore an oath to the powerful ruler of Jacob.
3. He said, “I will not enter my own home,or get into my bed.
4. I will not allow my eyes to sleep,or my eyelids to slumber,
5. until I find a place for the Lord,a fine dwelling place for the powerful ruler of Jacob.”
6. Look, we heard about it in Ephrathah,we found it in the territory of Jaar.
7. Let us go to his dwelling place!Let us worship before his footstool!
