¹ A Song of Ascents. ² How he swore unto the LORD, and vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob:³ 'Surely I will not come into the tent of my house, nor go up into the bed that is spread for me;⁴ I will not give sleep to mine eyes, nor slumber to mine eyelids;⁵ Until I find out a place for the LORD, a dwelling-place for the Mighty One of Jacob.'⁶ Lo, we heard of it as being in Ephrath; we found it in the field of the wood.⁷ Let us go into His dwelling-place; let us worship at His footstool.⁸ Arise, O LORD, unto Thy resting-place; Thou, and the ark of Thy strength.⁹ Let Thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let Thy saints shout for joy.¹⁰ For Thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of Thine anointed.

¹¹ The LORD swore unto David in truth; He will not turn back from it: ¹² If thy children keep My covenant and My testimony that I shall teach them, ¹³ For the LORD hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it for His habitation:¹⁴ 'This is My resting-place for ever; here will I dwell; for I have desired it.¹⁵ I will abundantly bless her provision; I will give her needy bread in plenty.¹⁶ Her priests also will I clothe with salvation; and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.¹⁷ There will I make a horn to shoot up unto David, there have I ordered a lamp for Mine anointed.¹⁸ His enemies will I clothe with shame; but upon himself shall his crown shine.'
