1. A Song of degrees. Lord, remember David and all his afflictions:
2. How he swore unto the Lord and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;
3. surely I will not come into the habitation of my house nor go up into my bed,
4. I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,
5. until I find out a place for the Lord, a habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.
6. Behold, we heard of her in Ephratah; we found her in the fields of the wood.
