1. David, and his afflictions all,Lord, do thou think upon;
2. How unto God he sware,and vow'd to Jacob's mighty One.
3. I will not come within my house,nor rest in bed at all;
4. Nor shall mine eyes take any sleep,nor eyelids slumber shall;
5. Till for the Lord a place I find,where he may make abode;A place of habitationfor Jacob's mighty God.
