✧1A song of ascents. O LORD, remember on behalf of David all the hardships he endured, ✧2how he swore an oath to the LORD, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob: ✧3“I will not enter my house or get into my bed, ✧4I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids, ✧5until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.” ✧6We heard that the ark was in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar. ✧7Let us go to His dwelling place; let us worship at His footstool. ✧8Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength. ✧9May Your priests be clothed with righteousness, and Your saints shout for joy.

✧10For the sake of Your servant David, do not reject Your anointed one.
✧11The LORD swore an oath to David, a promise He will not revoke: “One of your descendants I will place on your throne.
✧12If your sons keep My covenant and the testimony I will teach them, then their sons will also sit on your throne forever and ever.”
✧13For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His home:
✧14“This is My resting place forever and ever; here I will dwell, for I have desired this home.
✧15I will bless her with abundant provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread.
✧16I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints will sing out in joy.
✧17There I will make a horn grow for David; I have prepared a lamp for My anointed one.
✧18I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown upon him will gleam.”
