¹ Lord, remember David, and all his meekness: ² how he sware to the Lord, and vowed to the God of Jacob, saying, ³ I will not go into the tabernacle of my house; I will not go up to the couch of my bed; ⁴ I will not give sleep to mine eyes, nor slumber to mine eyelids, nor rest to my temples, ⁵ until I find a place for the Lord, a tabernacle for the God of Jacob. ⁶ Behold, we heard of it in Ephratha; we found it in the fields of the wood. ⁷ Let us enter into his tabernacles: let us worship at the place where his feet stood. ⁸ Arise, O Lord, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thine holiness. ⁹ Thy priests shall clothe themselves with righteousness; and thy saints shall exult. ¹⁰ For the sake of thy servant David turn not away the face of thine anointed.

¹¹ The Lord sware in truth to David, and he will not annul it, saying, Of the fruit of thy body will I set a king upon thy throne. ¹² If thy children will deep my covenant, and these my testimonies which I shall teach them, their children also shall sit upon thy throne for ever. ¹³ For the Lord has elected Sion, he has chosen her for a habitation for himself, saying, ¹⁴ This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have chosen it. ¹⁵ I will surely bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread. ¹⁶ I will clothe her priests with salvation; and her saints shall greatly exult. ¹⁷ There will I cause to spring up a horn to David: I have prepared a lamp for mine anointed. ¹⁸ His enemies will I clothe with a shame; but upon himself shall my holiness flourish.
