¹ O Yahweh, remember with regard to David
all his affliction.^[b]
2 How he swore to Yahweh,
he vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
³ "I will not enter into the tent of my house,
I will not go up to the couch of my bed,
⁴ I will give no sleep to my eyes,
no slumber to my eyelids,
⁵ until I find a place for Yahweh,
a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob."
⁶ Look, we heard of it in Ephrathah;
we found her in the fields of Jaar.^[c]
7 Let us go to his dwelling places;^[d]
Let us worship at his footstool.
⁸ Arise, O Yahweh, to your resting place,
you and your mighty ark.
⁹ Let your priests clothe themselves with righteousness,
and let your faithful sing for joy.
¹⁰ For the sake of your servant David,
do not turn away the face of your anointed one.
¹¹ Yahweh swore in truth to David;
he will not turn back from it.
"One from the fruit of your body^[e]
I will set on your throne.
¹² If your sons will heed my covenant
and my testimonies that I will teach them,
their sons also forever
will sit on your throne."
¹³ For Yahweh has chosen Zion;
he has desired it for his habitation.
¹⁴ "This is my resting place forever;
here I will dwell, for I have desired it.
¹⁵ I will bless its provisions abundantly;
I will satisfy its poor with bread.
¹⁶ I will also clothe its priests with salvation,
and its faithful will shout exuberantly for joy.
¹⁷ There I will cause a horn to grow for David;
I will set a lamp for my anointed one.
¹⁸ I will clothe his enemies with shame,
but on him his crown will flourish."^[f]
