1
A Song of degrees. LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions:
2
How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;
3
Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;
4
I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,
6
Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.
7
We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.
8
Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; 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 hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy bodyb will I set upon thy throne.
12
If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.
13
For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.
14
This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
16
I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
18
His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
