¹ Remember, O Lord, on David's behalf,
All ^(a)his affliction;
² How he swore to the Lord
And vowed to ^(b)the Mighty One of Jacob,
³ "Surely I will not ^[a]enter ^(c)my house,
Nor ^[b]lie on my bed;
⁴ I will not ^(d)give sleep to my eyes
Or slumber to my eyelids,
⁵ Until I find a ^(e)place for the Lord,
^[c]A dwelling place for ^(f)the Mighty One of Jacob."

⁶ Behold, we heard of it in ^(g)Ephrathah,
We found it in the ^(h)field of ^[d]Jaar.
⁷ Let us go into His ^[e](i)dwelling place;
Let us ^(j)worship at His ^(k)footstool.
^8 (l)Arise, O Lord, to Your ^(m)resting place,
You and the ark of Your ⁽ⁿ⁾strength.
⁹ Let Your priests be ^(o)clothed with righteousness,
And let Your ^(p)godly ones sing for joy.

¹⁰ For the sake of David Your servant,
Do not turn away the face of Your ^(q)anointed.
¹¹ The Lord has ^(r)sworn to David
A truth from which He will not turn back:
"^(s)Of the fruit of your body I will set upon your throne.
¹² "If your sons will keep My covenant
And My testimony which I will teach them,
Their sons also shall ^(t)sit upon your throne forever."

¹³ For the Lord has ^(u)chosen Zion;
He has ^(v)desired it for His habitation.
¹⁴ "This is My ^(w)resting place forever;
Here I will ^(x)dwell, for I have desired it.
¹⁵ "I will abundantly ^(y)bless her provision;
I will ^(z)satisfy her needy with bread.
¹⁶ "Her ^(aa)priests also I will clothe with salvation,
And her ^(ab)godly ones will sing aloud for joy.
¹⁷ "There I will cause the ^(ac)horn of David to spring forth;
I have prepared a ^(ad)lamp for Mine anointed.
¹⁸ "His enemies I will ^(ae)clothe with shame,
But upon himself his ^(af)crown shall shine."
