1LORD , remember David , and all his afflictions : 2How he sware unto the LORD , and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob ; 3Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house , nor go up into my bed ; 4I will not give sleep to mine eyes , or slumber to mine eyelids , 5Until I find out a place for the LORD , an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob . 6Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah : we found it in the fields of the wood . 7We will go into his tabernacles : we will worship at his footstool . 8Arise , O LORD , into thy rest ; thou, and the ark of thy strength . 9Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness ; and let thy saints shout for joy . 10For thy servant David’s sake turn not away the face of thine anointed .
The Promise of David's Lineage
11The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David ; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne . 12If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore . 13For the LORD hath chosen Zion ; he hath desired it for his habitation . 14This is my rest for ever : here will I dwell ; for I have desired it. 15I will abundantly bless her provision : I will satisfy her poor with bread . 16I will also clothe her priests with salvation : and her saints shall shout aloud for joy . 17There will I make the horn of David to bud : I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed . 18His enemies will I clothe with shame : but upon himself shall his crown flourish .
