1. O Lord, remember Davidand all his afflictions,
2. how he swore unto the Lord,and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob:
3. “I will not come into my house,nor go up to my bed;
4. I will not give sleep to my eyes,or slumber to my eyelids,
5. until I find a place for the Lord,a dwelling for the mighty God of Jacob.”
6. We heard of it in Ephrathah;we found it in the fields of Jaar.
7. “We will go to His dwelling place,we will worship at His footstool.”
8. Arise, O Lord, go to Your resting place,You and the ark of Your strength.
9. Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness,and let Your godly ones shout for joy.
