1. Lord, remember DavidAnd all his afflictions;
2. How he swore to the Lord,And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3. “Surely I will not go into the chamber of my house,Or go up to the comfort of my bed;
4. I will not give sleep to my eyesOr slumber to my eyelids,
5. Until I find a place for the Lord,A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
6. Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah;We found it in the fields of the woods.
7. Let us go into His tabernacle;Let us worship at His footstool.
8. Arise, O Lord, to Your resting place,You and the ark of Your strength.
9. Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness,And let Your saints shout for joy.
